Leading While Dreaming: Spoken word performance and workshop with Kavindu “Kavi” Ade

This generative writing workshop, led by spoken word artist and PYPM International Slam Coach Kavi Ade, will focus on how art, in particular poetry, can be a powerful tool in grassroots organizing and ground-up leadership. Kavi will discuss how they have used poetry over the years to inspire change within their community and the role that vision and foresight take in creating sustainable momentum as a leader. Participants will examine poems written by contemporary spoken word artists in order to discuss the role of poetry in the pursuit of social justice. Participants will write poems about a social issue that they are passionate about in order to spread social awareness and encourage social change. Finally, the workshop will culminate in sharing work generated throughout the workshop and a performance by Kavi Ade.
