Had an amazing time screening The Negro Artist Film Experience in Columbia, Missouri to commemorate Juneteenth!

💛🖤 HOMECOMING 🖤💛

The award winning documentary, The Negro Artist, produced by Nik Heftman & has been screening across the country and is finally coming to my hometown, COLUMBIA!!

The documentary talks about my experiences growing up in Columbia, the growth I found in Iowa, and the power of poetry.

Right before the film, I’ll be joined by a couple local poets for a live performance, and immediately following the film the director, Nik Heftman, and I will hold a Q & A.

Sponsored by the City of Columbia, the whole film experience will be FREE and will add to the myriad of Juneteenth celebrations happening around town.

If you’re a writer, performer, or storyteller, you can also attend a morning workshop centered around the art of storytelling! That’ll take place at 11 AM, June 20th, at Skylark Bookshop!

Very grateful to Coe College for the opportunity!
