We had a great time at the @as_she_speaks_events Poetry Slam celebrating Black women and women of color, poetry and mental health, for Women's (Her)Story Month! Deep, powerful, important, brave stories were shared, and beautiful poems, in a supportive environment of sisterhood. It was an inspiring night, and #Art2Action is proud to support this creative, community-building work. Congratulations to all the POETS!!! "As She Speaks, She will Be Heard!"

Join us on @howlround for "Artistic Imagination as a Force for Change" on November 18, 4-5:30 p.m. ET! This session, honoring the vibrant legacy of the late Grace Lee Boggs, explores artists’ imaginative power to grow the personal and collective soul. Culture activists adrienne maree brown and Sage Crump, both with deep roots in Detroit, and Urban Bush Women founder Jawole Zollar delve into the relationship between the artistic imagination and civic/social/political action, and how artistic strategies and emergent strategies can bolster movements and make progress toward change. Tune in for the last in our "Animating Democracy: Reflecting Forward" series, co-presented by Animating Democracy (a program of Americans for the Arts) and #Art2Action - or watch all three, archived on HowlRound! https://www.instagram.com/p/ClFoYZFudoP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
