Rupi Kaur is a poet, artist, and performer. At the age of five, her mother handed her a paintbrush and said, “draw your heart out.” At seventeen, she happened upon a local open mic night where she performed her first spoken word poem.

Comments closedBlack and African American communities have always created and contributed to thriving arts and culture landscapes.
