Dear Family and Friends ,

OUR AFRICA4U AWARDS FOR AFRICANS AND CARIBBEANS LIVING IN WEST YORKSHIRE shall be taking place on Friday the 3rd of October at The Banqueting Hall, City Hall in Bradford.

The amazing Leeds based Pauline Tomlin will be speaking on the day to talk about her play “The Lives we Carry Synopsis”. She will also be reciting from it on the day.

Information about the play can be found below

The Lives we Carry Synopsis

‘The Lives we Carry’ explores epigenetic inheritances. Passionate
and sad it showcases the Northern, Black, Female Voice, depicting
the Universal Black, Female, Migrant experience. Being a ‘Leeds
Lass,’ I yearn for my mother’s, grandmothers’, ‘Aunties’ and ‘Sista’s
voices to be heard. They’re just as poignant and powerful as those
in the South of the UK and in the Global Diaspora.

TLWC shows us Womanhood,
migration trauma and the effects;
the dreams and the passions of
these women. Through this powerful
play, which challenges the lack of
“Black Female voices’ in the literary
Canon we connect; with them, to
ourselves, to our wider Global family
and to our experiences in
environments not suited for their
psyche, physiology or Spirituality.
How and when do we heal?
