Ciara (they/she) reads us their original poem that they wrote in 30 minutes, in their backyard, during the summer of 2020. And it hits. Hard. We start out with a conversation about their process and how they felt writing this piece. As an artist, writer, and all around multi-media creator, she reflects on how it feels to create her art for herself vs. how she feels when she shares with an online space. They also speak on performative allyship, hyper-visibility, and taking time to learn how to be more intentional when adding our voices to the mix. Ciara reminds us sit in the discomfort, surrender, and be ok with allowing change to be intentional and incremental.
