Muneera Pilgrim:
Muneera Pilgrim is a Poet, Cultural Producer, Writer, Broadcaster on BBC and Ujima, TEDx Speaker, and WOW Festival Speaker with international acclaim. She conducts workshops, shares art, guest lectures, hosts, and finds alternative ways to educate and exchange ideas while focusing on methodologies of empowerment for non-centered people. At heart, Muneera is a storyteller, concerned with telling stories to disrupt mainstream narratives of non-centered people globally and to beautify truths that are rarely told.
Ty’rone Haughton
Ty’rone Haughton is a Jamaican-born poet and playwright whose work focuses on social
issues, identity and exploring shame and trauma. Ty’rone is the founder of Literati Arts and the Leicester Poetry Committee. In 2023 Ty’rone was named as one of BBC Radio 1Xtra’s ‘Future Figures’ for his contributions to the arts and social care. In 2022, Ty’rone’s debut poetry collection HOODS was published, a probe into childhood, manhood and fatherhood. Outside of poetry, Ty’rone is an active voice in the social care sector, using his lived experience of growing up in care to provide consultation and training to foster services and organisations that work with looked after children.
Presented in partnership with Apples and Snakes.
