I didn’t think these two projects would have any connection but it seems they very much do. Try not to spit out your tea Karen but here are more black Welsh people and (take a breath) they’re speaking Welsh! Happy Woke History Month huns!

I gloi, er pob dim dwi di gweud, dyma oedd yr Eisteddod fwyaf gynhwysol dwi eriod wedi profiadu, dwi erioed wedi teimlo fy mod i’n berchen mwy i le. Ond angen cofio bod dal gwaith i neud!
Diolch i bawb am eich negeseuon o gymorth wedi codi calon. Thank you everyone for the support I’m overwhelmed. Please no media requests I don’t want to talk about it just want people to realise that this is still happening.
It used to be my goal to act at the Sherman one day, Mam used to take me to the children’s shows at weekends. So to be named an Associate Artist is a real pinch me moment. Thank you

I need to heartily recommend "Mammoth" on BBC1: it's basically "Gene Hunt: The Sit-Com" but so, so silly. A PE teacher gets buried in an avalanche in 1979, then comes back to life in the present day. Did I say it's silly? It's so silly.

Dwi mor falch bod fy nrama cyntaf i Bratiaith yn rhan o’r archif yma o ddramau Cymraeg. Adnodd hynod o bwysig i ddyfodol llenyddiaeth Cymraeg!
I’m so grateful that my first drama, Bratiaith is part of this brand new archive of Welsh language dramas. What an incredible resource!
Dros 100 o ddramâu hyd yn hyn, o bob cyfnod! Falch o lansio gwefan newydd sy’n drysorfa o ddramâu Cymru heddiw!

Over 100 playtexts so far, past to present! Excited to launch a brand new website showcasing plays from Wales!

Break a leg to all the cast and crew for Curtain Up Week 3 tonight! Very nervous to see my first live theatre piece performed, but with this team behind it I’m sure it will be grand 🙏🏽 can’t wait ❤️
A frank discussion with Jafar. It was a difficult conversation for me and I was quite anxious about its release but feel like I’ve spoken my truth. Do give it a listen and to the rest of the series. Jafar has some fab guests and I’m very proud to be amongst them!
