Street Poets Podcast
Real-life stories & interviews – laced with original poetry & music – produced by the creative team at Street Poets Inc. – a Los Angeles-based non-profit organization transforming our world one rhyme at a time. ••••••• Born in an L.A. County juvenile detention camp in 1995, Street Poets works behind bars and beyond, from inner-city high school classrooms to Native American reservations, from local streets and projects to countries as far away as Belize, Sweden, Northern Ireland and South Africa. Whether reciting from our "Poetry in Motion" van, rapping in our recording studio, or singing in a sweat lodge, we create in the knowledge that we carry the seeds of solutions to our world's most intractable problems within us. Our mission is to liberate those solutions, that medicine, our gifts – so that we all can experience together what it feels like to be free. ••••••• For more on Street Poets visit streetpoetsinc.com, or follow us on Instagram: @streetpoetsinc @streetpoetspodcast #metaphorsbewithyou

SISTERS IN RHYME
Street Poets has been blessed to have many powerful female leaders, healers, writers and teaching artists steward our creative community forward over the past 25 years. Inspired by the saying "each one, teach one," SISTERS IN RHYME amplifies the original poetry, music and wisdom of three of Street Poets' most gifted co-creators, past and present: spoken-word artist/poet and former Program Director MAYDA DEL VALLE, poet/rapper/DJ/producer/dancer/filmmaker and current program coordinator JAYNESE "JAY" POOLE, and poet/singer/rapper/producer/teaching assistant and self-proclaimed "poetry geek" AIYANA DA'BRIEL. Infused with original poetry and music, this episode is a celebration of sisterhood and the creative process.
