We wrote the poems below after reading and discussing Robert Seattar’s and Dean Atta’s ‘I Come From’. These poems are about memories, growing up, celebrating joy and talking about our cultural identity. Where are you from?
We were inspired by the BBC clip below which features some school girls from Bradford. We are grateful to them for sharing their stories, it has helped us to share our own. Watch the clip, their words are strong and lyrical.
