Renaissance: Stories of Resurgence and Renewal
And, we’re back. After the longest year in lockdown, we’re beyond thrilled to be back with an electric live show featuring seven original stories on the theme of resurgence and renewal. Second acts and second chances. Revivals and resurrections. The only constant is change, so this May we invited our performers to share the ways they’ve shed old skin and started anew.

She has performed at the Brooklyn Library, The Apollo, The UN, The Public Theater, The Intrepid, The Apple Store, and many more. Her poems explore women’s issues, social justice, and community building and strive to help Black women's independence everywhere.
