Imagining Alternate Futures

Future Collaborator?
Poetry exists at the heart of every global liberation struggle—from Abolition in the united states and Négritude in the francophone Caribbean, to Black Power in the united kingdom, anti-colonial efforts in Kenya, and the resurgence of Black Lives Matter throughout the African diaspora. As a lifelong student of literary history, I want to spread awareness about the power of the arts in shaping a deeper social consciousness and encourage writers at any stage of their career.
