Llyrio Boateng is honored to have participated in the ‘Fi Wi Time: A New Generation Speaks’ programme, hosted by the Black British Book Festival.
This six-week initiative was a transformative experience for Boateng, bridging the gap between young Black nonfiction writers in the UK and Jamaica. Highlights of the residency included:
-
Craft Development: Intensive workshops focused on sharpening narrative voice and structural precision.
-
Mentorship: Direct engagement with industry leaders to refine professional writing standards.
-
Global Connection: Engaging in cross-cultural exchanges that offered Llyrio new, global perspectives on storytelling.
For Boateng, this programme served as a catalyst for growth, providing the tools and community necessary to push the boundaries of nonfiction writing.
