My Poem from BlackYard

 

On Saturday, I attended the first BlackYard event hosted by Toni Bee and Dexter Roberts. People from all around gathered to feast, perform and most importantly take in the Dexter’s new paintings. Toni encouraged people to share and write their thoughts about Dexter’s work, all of which was centered around the idea of race to one degree or another, some very obvious some slightly less so.

People I Want to See Tonight at Stone Soup

Toni Bee

 She missed last week, so I'm really hopefull she'll be back for this special night.

Deta Galloway

 

Really, I'm putting most of my intention wishing towards her coming tonight. Especially after the delicious food she cooked for BlackYard. I need to thank her again.

Reminder: BlackYard This Saturday

Catch this event on Saturday and be there for the open mic. Invite yourself and others.
