“I am thrilled to be this year’s recipient of the Roland Rees Bursary 2024.  My writing journey to date has been littered with rejection, self-doubt and extreme pressure to create work that captivates an audience. Winning this bursary has reminded me to focus on writing compelling stories inspired by my lived experiences and the opportunities will arrive organically. This blessing has sparked my confidence to share my writing. I am excited to see what the next chapter of my writing journey will be.”
