AAPI Women Voices: Identity & Activism in Poetry

Performance

  • Thank you for all of your hard work in producing, analyzing and writing poetry!

​

  • I am impressed by your bravery in taking on poetry. As we learned, it is more than just words on a page that are meant to be dissected. It’s about sharing what is most important to us. It’s also about sharing what is most scary for us. Sometimes it is about sharing what has shaped us most. It is a good practice for you to be become a public speaker. All of these events and objects are worthy of a poem if we make them. This is also a good public speaking practice for you!
