She'll represent Ghana at the World Poetry Slam Championship (Nov 12-17, 2024) in Togo. As the only poet at Amnesty International’s Right to Protest launch, her work fiercely advocates for empowerment and justice.
Our community organizer/ activist Natty Ogli is a Ghanaian Wordsmith using his gift as a reformative tool to lead and contribute positive change. Natty is a community builder, an instrumentalist, singer, rapper and a reggae/dance hall artiste. As a member of Ehalakasa, his unique approach to Spoken Word Poetry exemplifies the tenacious pursuit of righteousness, truth and Afro-consciousness. He is known as the Dauntless Warrior Poet, a title he received from Mr David Nelson of "The Last Poets"
SOME THINGS MUST BE HEARD
OPEN/ CLOSE MIC SPITTING & POLITICKING SERIES
We have featured more than 30 Local, National, and International Spoken Word Artists and Community Organizers.
I created this platform because deep meaningful transformation occurs when we have safe sacred spaces to openly and honestly express ourselves, network, and build lasting relationships. We are committed to using art as a strategy for organizing and a tool for black liberation. My featured artists and organizers are committed to the art and the movement. Artists, Activists, Humanitarians, Revolutionaries, and Community Organizers such as Audre Lorde, Sonia Sanchez, Nikki Giovanni, Amir Baraka, Maya Angelou, Alice Walker,
and Langston Hughes used their gifts to radicalize the people and enact change and we intend to do the same.
