Juneteenth Celebrations!

7/13/2019

 
Big shout out to Crystal's Spot in Lawrence, KS for hosting BLACK Lawrence's Juneteenth Celebration. In honor of the holiday, I read this poem by Phillis Wheatley.

I'm late to posting, but BLACK Lawrence gathered for music, poetry, and more during Black History Month & it was awesome! I obviously do not follow directions since I seem to be the only one not looking at the camera.

Artists need other artists! So excited I get to be a part of this talented group of black artists. What started as a few informal gatherings has become one of the most nourishing spaces for my personal/artistic/human growth. Proud to be a part of BLACK Lawrence. See our mission & vision below! <3
