The Voice of Reason | Spoken Word Poem | Rochelle LoRo I've hesitated for months to share this video, fearing controversy and misinterpretation. But my poem, 'The Voice of Reason,' written in 2013, remains relevant. I hope these words inspire unity and change in ourselves and our communities. 🤝 ===================== FYI..
👥 *BLACK PEOPLE: . I am not implying that there's a racial element to serious youth violence. I am addressing a specific community with a shared experience and also the need for unity within our community. ✊
🚢 *SHIP HOME/DEPORTATION: Written before the 2018 Windrush scandal. This is another controversial line that time proved to be true. 🤷♀️
Inspired by tragic events, including Charlotte Polius, Joseph Burke-Monerville, and Derek Boateng's murders. 🙏😢🕊️
Performed at Robyn Travis's book launch for 'Prisoner to the Streets' at the Hackney Empire. 📚
