Well... we video taped it, so you'll still get some of the energy! We will try for live streaming next time.

I need that!  Lol. I am sure there was some hot poems. I haven't been to a slam in a long time.

This is great. I was wondering are repats learning native family systems (I think in in Akan they call it "abusua" and "nton")?
If those classical Kmtyw systems could be exported and popularized back in the diaspora that would solve a lot of our problems and sense of disunity, I think.
