Monday, June 15, 7 PM EDT / 11 PM GMT

Join us for a poetry reading dedicated to Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, and Ahmaud Arbury and all those in the struggle for dignity.

All of our lives have been turned upside down because of COVID-19 and yet the resilience of the human spirit persists. Poetry is a way through and can help us make sense of our deepest unlanguageable emotions and experiences.

Rooted in oral tradition, Homemade is a dedication for the people and is inspired by indigenous and African tradition. Our healing has always been holistic and therefore we must integrate our physical, spiritual, and mental parts in the process of healing. Poetry is our healing inheritance.

Hosted by Aja Monet, this reading series takes place every 1st and 15th of the month in homage to workers who are losing their paychecks and to help us get through in the thick of this pandemic. We offer literal healing herbal remedies as well as medicinal poems.

Join us June 15th for a poetry reading dedicated to Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, and Ahmaud Arbury and all those in the struggle for dignity and justice.

Featuring: Vangile Gantsho, Nate Marshall, James Klynn, Lebo Mashile, Safia Elhillo, Ras Baraka, Dominque Christina, Liza Jessie Peterson, Nephii Love, Eccentrich, Patricia Smith, Jason Reyonalds, an Jadele.
