I offer poetry workshops for Peer Wellness and Recovery Services -- and PWRS coordinator Miriam Yarmolinsky invited me to go with her to the very fine DC Fringe Festival event featuring Leah Harris -- and Leah is also a poet whose work I found in the anthology Word Warriors: 35 Women Leaders in the Spoken Word Revolution -- where I also found "Do the Math" -- a crowd-pleaser by a 2002 slam champion Meliza Bañales -- available here on YouTube and included below. Enjoy!
Do the Math by Meliza Bañales
The equation goes something like this:
one white mother plus one brown father divided by two
different worlds
equals a daughter.
