Season 1 | Ep. 1: Can I Say That?

Poetry is Freedom

Welcome to the very first episode of the show. If you are looking for a podcast about Black, Brown, and Indigenous poetry, then you're in the right place! If you are looking for creative inspiration for whatever kind of art you create, then you're in the right place! This week we are talking about obscenity. Learn about my relationship to profanity as a Black church girl with a perfection complex. 🥴🥴🥴I discuss "Hottentot Venus" by Morgan Parker (one of my favorite poets everrrrrrrrrrr). Tune in to my reflection questions and thoughts on the piece. At the end of the show you will hear me perform my poem "Malcolm & Marie" named after the movie that gave us the best of David John Washington.
