Robyn Kaur Sidhu (she/he/they) is a Queer, mad, chronically ill, Punjabi-Canadian spoken word poet, born in Montreal, Quebec and raised in Brampton, Ontario. They have had feelings publicly, and has performed them on national and international stages in Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom. They are a director for the Voices of Today youth poetry festival, the creative director of Hot Damn it’s a Queer Slam, and is the Co-chair Communications of the SpeakNORTH. They are also a teacher of consent, race and 2SLGBTQ+ identity to youth across the Greater Toronto Area. They are trying to be the adult they always needed as a kid. You can find Robyn in vintage cardigans or also on the internet if that’s your thing @Robyn_Sidhu

A quick run down of Zoom: click the link we’ve shared, register, and that will give you access to the Zoom chat space on the 20th. During the show the host will keep everyone except the person currently reading muted – and then will unmute everyone for 5 seconds after poems are over for everyone to cheer.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask! We look forward to seeing your faces on all our laptops / phones this Thursday evening.
