Get Lit Presents: The Classic Slam!

Classic Slam is around the corner.
I first learned about Get Lit: Words Ignite at ONE Women and Girls and a year later, am proud to announce that I have joined them as part of their advisory board. Not only that, but I get to be one of of the judges at the Classic Slam Final this Saturday, May 2ndat the Wilshire Ebell Theatre downtown. I am honored and excited and I hope some of you will join me and the INCREDIBLE young poets of Los Angeles.

Stories are the great agents for change. Let us elevate the voices of our young people and applaud their courage to turn themselves inside out and slam their words against our ears.

Because THIS is power. THIS is change. THIS is the future of Los Angeles and the world. THIS is what poetry does for young people. It moves. It shakes. It revolutionizes.
