Hello!
My name is Alia, and I am a volunteer editor/mentor at Books of Hope. I've been helping out Soul, Titi, and Jade since March, and it's been an inspiring experience for me. Learning from these powerful & creative women has seemed to spark the validity of my life, and my own writing. And of course -- the youth in this program are AMAZING. You need to see them to perform.
I'm serious!
Last night, the Books of Hope crew traveled to Providence, Rhode Island, where we performed at the lovely Blue State Coffee cafe on Thayer Street. Every Tuesday night, they invite poets far and wide to perform at Got Poetry! Live. What a warm group of poets! They welcomed Books of Hope with open arms, and we will definitely be back.
On Friday, we're going to Manchester, NH for yet another show!
Stay tuned for videos and photos from both these events -- or, we'll see you there!
