Quindell Peyton<\/a> will perform a piece called \u2018This Little Light of Mine<\/em>\u2019 that metaphorically talks about the light absorbing aspect of melanin and how Black Americans have shined that light throughout our history in this country. Quindell Peyton is from Detroit, and has been traveling through Michigan for six years doing speeches and spoken words at health events, black history events, and leadership conferences in Detroit, Lansing, Grand Rapids, and Pontiac. He writes: “it is truly my dream to inspire people to follow their dreams and the light that shines toward the eventuality of their own lives, despite societal cautions and individual fears.”<\/p>\n

Jae Nichelle<\/a> will perform multiple pieces connected to Black History Month; she focuses a great deal of her work on black womanhood and mental health. With over 50 million views on Facebook and 1 million on YouTube, Jae Nichelle is a viral spoken word artist from Louisiana. Her work has been featured in Best New Poets 2020, and she’s been winning poetry slams since she was 16. She has shared: “my guilty pleasures include crop tops, taco bell, and starting projects that I’ll never finish.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
