My next few posts I'm sure will be me obsessing over spoken word and Brave New Voices. It's easy to spend a lot of time on YouTube watching video after video. A lot of time being blown away, or sometimes being disappointed, but I think that's all a part of the experience.
But, I'm okay with that. :-)
So a bit back I put a B. Yung spoken word performance on a blog, and it's the same poem that's featured on his page on the HBO page.
"I can't stomach being whipped and or being stripped because the color of my skin so every time I write a slave poem my paper bleeds."
There are six Brave New Voices Teams for me to dive into, and I think I'm going to surface with a new excitement and possibly an inspiration to write.
