Women and Adversity: Gwendolyn Brooks, First Black to Win a Pulitzer Prize

Come meet my Russian alter Ego: Grafinya was born in the bitter cold of the Caucasus Mountains during one of the fiercest blizzards of the modern century, which is where it is rumored her eyes of ice come from. The woman who is known only as The Countess, or “Grafinya,” was shaped by the harsh, rocky terrain of her upbringing. She chipped her way slowly into the underbelly of Russian life. Despite her nefarious identity in the underworld, she would supposedly sneak off to crime dens to page through the words of Dostoevsky and Chekhov. She eventually made her way to America, after a deal went bad. Grafinya comes with tales from her land, of loneliness, and of hardship, like her poetic forefathers before her.

I don’t know whether to blame my parents, society or destiny. But then again, blaming anyone will only make things better for a few seconds and then I will again feel that unfulfilling and permanent void inside my soul that screams in angry mute echoes for all the wrongs we’ve been put through. Since childhood to adulthood and the fight for survival continues without being able to feel yet complete. • • • • • A peace out of my latest book, ⁠ #walkingtowardshappiness 📗© walking towards happiness Get a copy of my book: 🛒available now at Amazon 📚 Links in highlights 🔴🔵⚪️ • • • May love always find you somewhere!

Just reflecting on some of the spaces I’ve been privileged enough to perform poetry in over the past year, despite the global circumstances. This was my first time performing in Chicago. I chose Millennium Park due to the high foot traffic and incredible sculpture gardens as a backdrop. When I was in my early 20s, I was dead set on moving to Chicago at some point in my life. I didn’t give too much thoughts to the long winters there. I was more interested in the big city feel with the tight knit community vibe. Some of my favorite punk bands came out of that scene or were inspired by it in Philly. It seemed like the next best place to land after growing up a bit. I got a better idea of the winter there at some point, though, and the dream move never came to be. But that didn’t stop me from touring through a few times with bands in my youth, and as a poet when I was a little more grown up. And yet, for some reason in all those years I never braved the streets with the typewriter. Well, until this summer. And boy was that Windy City blowing me sideways. The inspiration helping me to catch my feet. There was so much traffic crisscrossing those giant intersections, it was hard not to feel exceptionally tiny. But with a little bit of help from the passing jazz players and activists marching by in the streets I found the words to fill the space between.

I DO NOT OWN THE RIGHTS TO THIS MUSIC. All I have to say is I am super stoked about this amazing poet by the name of Vision poet. I have been following this guy for the past two years and I thought to myself why not ask him to come hang out with me on my radio station. He is someone you need to have on your radar. I have so many things to ask him about because he is an amazing storyteller. He has been seen on CNN, Black in America, TVOne and Verses and flow. Come hang with us tomorrow night at 10:30est/9:30cst/8:30mst. #stationhead#bourgeoiscoffeetable#poets#writers#trashterpiecetheater#jawntlemwn#rqtchetwhisperer#introspectivepoet#phillypoets#chicagopoets#poetpodcaster#blackinamerica #versesandflow#cnn https://www.instagram.com/p/B9VenyapuX4/?igshid=15ct0nu6i4x3f
