Sir Lewis Hamilton at the #MetGala

How incredible, the way stories stretch and find those they're meant to.. I've remained deeply passionate about my work around John Ystumllym, I'm so grateful the poem found Sir Lewis Hamilton & Burberry team, inspiring their #MetGala look. I'm a proud Welsh writer today!

This wasn’t on our 2024 bingo card!

Lewis Hamilton’s Burberry outfit for the Met Gala this year was inspired by John Ystumllyn - Wales’ first Black gardener, and features a poem by our very own Children’s Laureate Wales, Alex Wharton! 🤯🙌

Huge congratulations to my son Alex Wharton for inspiring Sir Lewis Hamilton ‘s look for the Met Gala last night with his poem! What a celebration of Welsh/black & British history. Inspirational!! Literature Wales Welsh Government Vogue Magazine Torfaen Council 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇺🇦 Burberry

Today I watched some of Alex Wharton 's workshop with a group of young people for Hay Festival. He is so talented, inclusive, and inspiring. The young people produced fantastic work. Definitely consider booking him if you work at a school or youth setting.
