In this unique episode of our OGs & Young Guns series, we invited renowned poets Nia McAllister and Tureeda Mikell to interview EACH OTHER about their experiences as literary artists! The two met at the Museum of the African Diaspora (MoAD), a contemporary art museum that celebrates Black culture through a global lens. Nia is the Senior Public Programs Manager at MoAD, and Tureeda recently completed her residency with the museum’s exceptional Poet-in-Residence program.

Nia is also a writer and environmental justice advocate working at the intersection of art, activism, and public engagement. Tureeda is a Griot Story Medicine Woman, activist, Qi Gong Energy Therapist, and lyricist; she is the author of "Synchronicity: The Oracle of Sun Medicine." These women are both amazingly intelligent and thoughtful, and we were thrilled to listen to their compelling stories and dialogue as flies on the wall. Meet Nia McAllister and Tureeda Mikell!
