Check out highlights from a recent panel I took part in called “Run It Back: Remembering & Reimagining Hip Hop As Social Activism” feat. M-1 (Dead Prez), Jasiri X, Mark Gonzales, Jahi, StaHHr & moderated by Davey D.
This link includes a reflection by Jasiri X & a video of memorable moments in the discussion. Hope that it brings you inspiration & relevant insight as we build shared vision, solidarity…

“For women, then, poetry is not a luxury. It is a vital necessity of our existence. It forms the quality of the light within which we predicate our hopes and dreams toward survival and change, first made into language, then into idea, then into more tangible action. Poetry is the way we help give name to the nameless so it can be thought. The farthest horizons of our hopes and fears are cobbled by our poems, carved from the rock experiences of our daily lives.”
