We will have a feature from Ashley Finley!
More about Ashley:
Ashley Finley is a performance poet, writer, and activist who grew up in the diverse neighborhoods of Southern California. At a young age, she began to use poetry as a way to process her experiences as an adopted, African-American girl, growing up in the melting pot of Los Angeles. As an adult, Ashley strives to empower those in under-served and underrepresented communities. Ashley uses her platform to remind these communities that their stories and their voices are powerful and that through unity and passion, they can create change. Featured in stages like TEDX Salt Lake City, The NYC Women of Color in Solidarity Conference, University of Utah’s Women in Leadership Conference and the Young African American Women’s Conference, Ashley’s words leave a lasting and illuminating impact.
There is a 5 dollar suggested donation for the show but no one is turned away.
Since the show is online, please come to the space with some patience.
See you there!
