go hear her speak. I saw her Saturday, it was wonderful. I would encourage anyone to go listen to someone who gives news without the corporate spin.

Do you know who the man was that gave the poem reading. He was from BLM and I assume a KC guy. That was so moving I could hardly stand it! The entire thing was good and very interesting the way she has put movements and time together.

No poet at ours. If you find out who it was, let me know. I'd love to hear the poem.

I will. It was moving and difficult. It was hard to listen to but it was so worth it. I will try and find out.

My work schedule has changed and is throwing me off.

I did a search but couldn't find anything on the poet.
