Red Emma's Mother Earth Poetry Vibe--featuring Kimberly Jae!
https://www.facebook.com/events/109304626653769/
This November, let's fall into something new—specifically, the exciting brand new location of Red Emma's! We're back in Mt. Vernon, right in the heart of the Cultural Center, and ready to bring the poetic excellence to you as we always do. Join us for an open mic of justice, conscious thought, spirituality, fam, real life—whatever advances the village! In the tradition of Emma Goldman’s “Mother Earth” magazine, come drop some rad “fiyah” on us, or contribute just with your presence and energy! [By the way: it’s a non-erotic venue, so rather than a love/erotica evening, we focus this night on justice and other matters of life. And, almost needless to say, leave the misogyny, homophobia and other unnecessary ish outside!]
Our lead-off feature in our new space will be Kimberly Jae! Born in New Orleans and transplanted to the East Coast via Hurricane Katrina, Kimberly Jae is an actress, director, playwright, slam poet, educator, mother and cancer survivor. Kimberly began her career in the arts attending the famed New Orleans Center for the Creative Arts, and later received her BA, teacher and principal licenses as well as a Masters in Education. K founded The PlayGround Children’s Theatre Company in 1998 while still in college. Writing and directing children eventually morphed into teaching teachers how to teach children using theater, and finally into teaching and school administration, in which she has served as a principal of K-8 charter schools. Kimberly is the 2018 Grand Slam Champion of Steel City Slam (in Pittsburgh), 2018 BOSS Slam “Queen of Slam” Champion, 2018 Steel City Slam representative to the Individual World Poetry Slam (IWPS), two-time Pajama Jammy Jam Slam winner as well as a 2018 finalist for Baltimore's Slammageddon slam team. Kimberly is also being published in early 2019 by Finishing Line Press in their upcoming cancer survivor anthology, “Anthology for Young Adults with Cancer.” When not writing or slamming, Kimberly cooks whatever comes into her imagination, and has recently opened a restaurant called Southern Slider Bar!
