A few weeks ago, I attended an HBCU Meet-up event in Washington, DC at the Tabaq Bistro. This event provided an opportunity to network with other alum from historically black colleges and universities and see a few artists showcased. Among those showcased was a very talented poet, Karega Bailey, and an impressive Alter Ego Photographer, Ivory Lawrence. One of the neatest things for me about the poet was the fact that he too is an educator and I started at Howard at the same time that his fiance began her PhD program at Howard’s School of Education. So as they collaboratively presented this spoken word piece that spoke to the environment that many of youths are impacted by, there was a relevancy in their words. Well see select images from this event are posted below, and if you’d like to here the spoken word piece, visit Karega’s youtube page.
