Congrats John!
Congrats to @John Ryan for passing his final exam! Here is a poem I wrote while attending @John Ryan 's workshop. Jack: Pierce me open, Yank out my guts, Scrape my intestines, roast my seeds, Carve me a smile, Set a fire in me make me watch on your coffee table as the mouth you gave me curls rotting into myself. I hear the cracking of my seeds as you enjoy me with salt I smell myself, an aroma from your pie, your muffins, your candles How you rid of my whole but keep my parts. Remember poets! Once you're ready for your final workshop, post it here in the community so others here can attend!

Her passion for poetry led her to perform at events ranging from protests and rallies to school auditoriums, for organizations like Everytown for Gun Safety, Words on White, New Aged Black Panthers, 826NYC, UAlbany Student Association and A BroaderWay, and at venues like NYC’S Playstation Theatre and DC’s Kennedy Center. She has since collaborated with artists like Idina Menzel, Jeanine Tesori, Shihan Van Clief, Ayodele Casel and champions other young artists with her work. She performed at the Global Citizens Festival opening for Shawn Mendez, at a Juneteenth event hosted by the NYC Mayor and his wife, at a youth mental health conference for UNICEF, at the Earthshot Prize Summit for Bloomberg Philanthropies and other high profile events. awarded the first ever Wonder Grant from the Shawn Foundation and she’s using that grant to fund her debut poetry collection “For All The Things I Never Got To Say”. which is on pre-order now at FantaBallo.com
