Imagine a House of Citizens filled with a representatively selected jury of people who aren’t professional politicians, informed by the best expertise, sat atop government alongside the two Houses of Parliament (the Commons and Lords). This House would not be beholden to any manifesto or particular ideology, but steered by thousands of ongoing conversations around the country - inclusively, deliberatively, collectively making long term policy decisions based on the things we can all agree on. Sounds pretty far out right? Well that’s the plan for Humanity Project…

Meet Victoria Villasenor and Nicci Robinson. In 2014, the couple first met at a literature event at Waterstones on Bridlesmith Gate. The two ended up connecting and went on to work on community projects together; they had a passion for mentoring authors in the beginning stages of their careers. They took these values and focused them on Global Wordsmiths - a community interest company Victoria established in 2012 that seeks to help writers realise their dreams. Our own writer (and creative behind Queer Notts) Jade Bramley sits down with Victoria and Nicci at the very same Waterstones where they met almost a decade prior, to discuss the work they do in the literature world and how they incorporate queer activism into it…
