Vital Voices: Celebrating Author and Poet Nikki Giovanni

Celebrate the life of Nikki Giovanni! Join Dr. Neal Lester, ASU Project Humanities, and Changing Hands Bookstore for a community sharing event as we commemorate the life of Nikki Giovanni. How does Nikki Giovanni's work impact you? What are your favorite pieces? 

Attendees are encouraged to bring a line, a poem, a passage, a personal story, or something else that connects you with Giovanni for a two- to three-minute share.

Vital Voices brings together individuals and communities to “talk, listen, and connect” through literature, language, and performance in important cultural spaces around the Valley. We encourage and utilize a range of creative expression, which demonstrates the necessity and vitality of multiple perspectives on and approaches to understanding our humanity.  The uniqueness of this program is that participants get to bring a favorite quote, passage, essay, or poem about the topic to share in an evening discussion, performance, and sharing.
