This poem - "Bi-Racial Hair" - performed by the incredibly dope poet, Zora Howard, has been viewed hundreds of thousands of times and has prompted a critical on-line discussion about being black, being white, being mixed and about, what else? Hair.
The poem is now several years old so I wanted to do something else with it. So, I decided I wanted to do a MASH UP.
Attention poets, writers, filmmakers, DJs....I want YOU to do one of the following:
- Write your own poem about Bi-Racial Hair and send me the text or a video of it.
