What an incredible evening at Demisch Danant for our second Inspired Art of this new New York SCORES era.
Thank you to everyone who made it out to enjoy our poetry, our artists and our community.
Special thanks of course to our host JRose for keeping us flowing, to DJ KayKay47 for the perfect soundtrack, to D’Asia Rae Brunson and Emma Dowdy for their memorable performances of the work of our Poet-Athletes, to our hosts for letting us into their beautiful venue and to the Organizing Committee, staff and volunteers for pulling it all together.
Shout out also to Susan & Hemant Mathur Catering and Isabella & Oysters XO for the amazing food.
The whole thing would be impossible without the vision of Nadira Simone and the amazing artists she gathered together for this: Ronnie Williams, Britanni Tamara, Sharoll Fernandez, Jennifer Verdieu, Victor A. Saint-Hilaire, DaQuane Cherry, Perry Easton, Julie Kendra, Lili Rochelle, Jay Golding, Nia Johnson, Bailey Holloway, Lesny, Mari Martinez and Akwasi.
