Welcome back to #MeetThePressed ! In this, the 2nd of 3 segments, our "crack" gumshoe gonzo garbanzo journalist Basil E. Brokeballer (no relation) interviews teaching artist extraordinaire @bomaniarmah . Bomani is the founder of @babagotbars ( www.babagotbars.com ), an arts integration residency which (among other things) reveals that the same elements which comprise a strong essay also comprise a well-written hip hop verse. Through the innovative Bomani Armah wRiting System (get it? B.A.R.S.!), students learn that "writers don't make mistakes; they make discoveries!". Here, Bomani helps Basil "discover" the origin and meaning of the classic DC slang term: "KIRK!" #kirk #startrek #captainkirk #slang #dc #dcslang #teachingarts #teachingartistry #artsintegration (at Pennsylvania Station (Baltimore))
