📚🎤 The Grapevine is bigger than the rumor. It’s about the people doing the work. 🍇 🏃🏽♀️📞
What happens when poetry meets purpose, lived experience meets leadership, and honest conversations challenge the way we see America?
In my upcoming book, Anatomy of the Grapevine, I’m bringing together poetry and exclusive interviews with writers, yogis, politicians, and community organizers who are working to create equity within a broken American system.
Swipe through to meet two of the four brilliant individuals featured in this interview series:
✨ Dr. Albert Russell
✨ Adrianne “Ajax” Jackson
Different journeys. Different disciplines. One essential conversation: What does it actually look like to build a more equitable world?
As an observant yogi poet, I’m interested in what lives beneath the headlines, beyond the sound bites, and between the lines. These conversations explore the people, ideas, and movements shaping our communities and what it takes to turn conviction into action.
Because the grapevine isn’t just about what we hear. It’s about what we carry, what we question, and what we choose to do with the truth.
Anatomy of the Grapevine features 15 new poems, some old favorites and exclusive interviews that connect personal stories to the bigger picture of American life.
