Post by Peju The Spark🔥

Black History Month is for life, not just for October 🙌🏾One of my most cherished poetic collaborations is with TLG | Transforming Lives for Good. I was commissioned by Abigail Anjorin to write a spoken word that would answer TLG's question - "How can a child truly stand firm in power and pride when they are carrying a bag?" Not a school bag, but a heavier one... 🎒 A bag filled with microaggressions, racial injustice and exclusion.✖️ And what would it look like for us as a community to stand together to advocate for all children? 🔆 A Renewed Society Is EXTRA-ordinary was birthed! A very special assignment that I am proud to share, that is already gaining momentum and having huge impact... 🔅”Wow, goosebumps! You are such a talent, Peju" 🔅”I loved it! So powerful, inspiring and moving." 🔅”The words resonate." 🔅”Wonderful and Powerful" 🔅”This is fab!" 🔅”Beautifully spoken, powerful words. Gives us a perspective of different bags." 🔅”You've captured the heart of the subject with such precision and grace."
