“Many stories matter. Stories have been used to dispossess and to malign. But stories can also be used to empower, and to humanize. Stories can break the dignity of a people. But stories can also repair that broken dignity.” ― Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

Taking the audience on a journey of purpose and discovery led by the eloquence of powerful expression. Experience what is possible when the poet blends the page with an authentic voice.
