Aya!
Aya De Leon is an inspiration. I was lucky enough to catch her new solo show “Aya De Leon is Running for President!” at Youth Speaks HQ last night. It’s a collection of prose poems and spoken word centered on the “If I were president theme…” While it’s at times liberally broad as political theater, as spoken word performance, it’s tight, smart, and forward thinking. When was the last time you heard a self-proclaimed feminist poet bust on how we need to include men in the movement?
I’m on her mailing list. I will see her perform again.
