*So Proud*

I can't stop telling my friends how awesome you guys were for Open Mic this week. Thank you to everyone who came out to read or to listen. This year we heard some beautiful imagery and touched on more themes than ever, including social justice. I'm super proud of you guys and I had an awesome time. Here are a couple photos from Open Mic, plus a random picture of Joi's colored pencils, which I just liked seeing all lined up on the desk. Also, if you're reading this, please remind me to share with you Ms. Chavis's response to "Slimy Ocean Ham."

A golden phoenix for a golden garden!

 One of my favorite poems by G.A. - it took me back to Manhattan.
