What is your mission?
My mission is a deep love and respect for my Celtic nations and our unique yet interconnected identities. From Ireland to Scotland, Wales to Cornwall, Brittany to the Isle of Man, and further afield each Celtic nation has its own distinct culture, language, and traditions. Yet, there’s an undeniable thread that binds us, a shared heritage and a shared struggle to preserve our identities in an ever-globalized world.
In today’s age, where the same shows are watched across continents, and consumerism often drowns out cultural nuance, the idea of individuality is at risk of being lost. Many people can no longer articulate what makes their culture distinct, and for the Celtic nations, this poses a real challenge. Our languages are endangered, our music and traditions are often seen as relics of the past, and our stories risk being overshadowed by a homogenized global narrative.
My mission is to remind people that there is a different path, a path that celebrates diversity and embraces cultural identity as a strength. I want to highlight the beauty and complexity of each Celtic nation, while emphasizing the shared values that unite us: resilience, creativity, and community.
Through exploring modern interpretations of Celtic cuisine, celebrating our music, art, and history, and advocating for the preservation of our languages, I hope to inspire others to see the value of cultural identity. This isn’t about clinging to the past, but about weaving our heritage into the fabric of modern life, ensuring it remains alive and relevant for future generations.
The Pan-Celtic community is a testament to the strength of identity in the face of adversity. My mission is to amplify this strength, showing the world that cultural diversity is not a relics rather it’s a guide to a richer, more connected future.
