There are some people who you like and there are some people who you look up to because they're

transformative in the way that they process things.

And there's a very short list for me

that whenever someone says something,

whenever someone reaches out,

whenever I hear someone involved in a cause,

I say, I want to be a part of that and this next person is on that list.

She is absolutely amazing.

She is a event host, she is a writer, she is a spoken word poet, which you will hear tonight, and she is also

the author of a number of books, one including how to fix a broken record, and you guys should go get that

and support her.

She also has a number of spoken word albums out as well which are wonderful and she's a friend of the

witness so y'all you know she Kimpo! Kimball!

Y'all join you know, she's Kimball, y'all join me in welcoming Amita Brown to the stage.

Now, I said, she's Kim folk.

Okay, that was like she's a guess.

She can't vote.

Give it up on Amina Brown!

We want to talk to Amina, like Aminaa tell us about yourself. There's poetry and then there's like an experience

Like I was telling her before like I did poetry. I didn't do that. I don't know like what I was like you know that was like elementary

It was like cat bad hat like that's what I was doing

Talk about the experience because I felt like that was a moment. I felt like there was something super special and talk about the process of writing those things and getting that out because I know that had to be painful and even challenging sometimes.
