24 years ago today, a “renowned hip hop spoken word artist” did his first college show at Bates College in Lewiston, Maine.
It felt like a novel abundance from the universe that allowed me to spend a few days with my best friend and try to figure out what it would look like to put together a 45-minute set of poems for a room full of college kids.
That teenage version of me would never have believed that I’d still be touring colleges today, nearly 1,600 college and university events later.
What a wild and miraculous journey it’s been.
