Poetry

 

from america

to the atlantic

we thrive anyway…

Being Black is a Blessing, don’t let others tell you it’s a curse. Vanderwaal's Journey is an amalgamation of horror, scifi, and afrofuturism heavily inspired by Lovecraft Country, Random Acts of Flyness, and Sampa the Great’s Black Atlantis. We follow Vanderwaal, a Black man from Alabama, on a transatlantic voyage to find the cure for both a deadly pandemic-inducing virus and the gentrification of his hometown. On this journey he battles the virus, monsters, white supremacy (aka monsters), and more in a quest that takes him to places he never could have imagined.

Black Enough

what is Black Enough?

One show. One goal. One Message. From the mind of poet and educator Jahman Hill, Black Enough is a time-bending reimagining of the world around us. Hill takes us on a exciting journey through song, dance, poetry, and humor. This award-winning one-man show tackles topics of childhood, race, gender, and more. Hill challenges us to Flourish unabashedly and unapologetically. The message for Black people everywhere is simple: you are enough.
