Simone contributed to Unicef’s ‘Words by’, a Next Generation project, published in October 2019.
“Words by was founded to raise money for Unicef’s Children’s Emergency Fund whilst celebrating shared humanity. The project began with particular focus of refugees experiencing ‘otherness’ and being stripped of their humanity (especially in the UK). This has since expanded so it celebrates poets and wordsmiths in every sense of the word – among its contributors are homeless poets, transgender activists, BAME leaders etc. It is meant to reconceptualise those who are ‘labelled’ and position us all as human beings.”
