This week, host Julia Paganelli Marín engages in a compelling conversation with Erin Allen, a stay-at-home mom, avid gardener, and passionate poet. Together, they explore the intersections of poetry, personal experience, and activism through Aracelis Girmay's "You Are Who I Love." This discussion explores the poem's commentary on societal issues and its call to action, mirroring the small yet significant acts of protest in our everyday lives.
This discussion is an invitation for listeners to consider the role of poetry in inspiring activism and foster a deeper understanding of our roles in shaping the world. Join us for a conversation that challenges us to embrace discomfort, ask real questions, and find our own ways to contribute to our communities and beyond.
