What We Leave We Carry: July 2024

Earlier this month, WritersMosaic launched their new podcast series, What We Leave We Carry, to tell the stories of migrants who have made their homes in the UK and their communities.

This month, there was:

• Clementine E Burnley on why she wants her money back from the British romantic novelists she read in her youth in Cameroon. Listen here.
• Snežana Ćurčić on leaving Serbia and the UK’s rules-based society. Listen here.
• Marjorie Lotfi (pictured above) on fleeing Iran as a child in 1978, and how she eventually settled in Scotland where she is celebrated for her poetry. Listen here.
• Maria Jastrzębska on moving from Poland to the UK as a child in the 1950s. Listen here.
• WritersMosaic director Colin Grant reflecting on his own experiences and the inspiration behind What We Leave We Carry. Listen here.
