My dear friend and collaborator Ociele Hawkins is a talented writer and creator who recently published her first poetry anthology titled From the Dust We Rose, written in response to the horrific and ongoing non-indictments of the murderers of Black people. Her words are powerful and a much needed medicine of hope, and a simultaneous expression of pain with a hopeful belief in a future of possibilities for change and adaption. Her work consistently shatters assumptions while building power for her people.
Come for a reading at the Wooden Shoe Saturday March 10th from 7-8:30pm (Facebook event here)!
