Bi-Racial Hair Mash Up




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.
- Add your own flair to the same poem - record it and send me the link.
- Make your own film using the audio.  (You can download the mp3 by visiting www.listentoyoutube.com).  Make a film and send me the link. 
- Remix the poem using your own music.  (You can download the mp3 by visiting www.listentoyoutube.com).
