Born out of conversations around our mixed race identities, the Black Lives Matter movement and what this means in relation to us.
‘The Branches of Me’ begins to look at how we find a sense of harmony within a mixed identity in a society that often talks in terms of being ‘White’ or ‘Black’.
Wedi ei greu o ganlyniad i sgyrsiau o amgylch ein hunaniaeth hil gymysg, y mudiad Mae Bywydau Du o Bwys a beth mae hyn yn ei olygu mewn perthynas â ni.
Mae ‘The Branches of Me’ yn dechrau edrych ar sut rydym yn dod o hyd i ymdeimlad o harmoni o fewn hunaniaeth gymysg mewn cymdeithas sy'n aml yn siarad o ran bod yn 'Wyn' neu'n 'Ddu'.
