Event Description

The Black Experience in Kingston
Britta Badour, Otoniya J. Okot Bitek, with Tianna Edwards

Reading and Conversation

Islandview

1:00 – 2:00 pm

In her podcast (Kingston, The Black Experience) and blog (Keep Up with Kingston), Tianna Edwards challenges the narrative that Black people don’t live and create in this city. Join Tianna onstage with poet and scholar Otoniya J. Okot Bitek and spoken word artist Britta Badour for a conversation on their work, and the inspiration and challenges that come with being an artist and creator in a smaller town.
