#NCAHM2021 After a resurgence in the 90s and the premiere of Love Jones, the art form of spoken word catapulted to the world stage.

You may not know their names or faces, but their voices are legendary. Some of the Caribbean-American poets and industry pioneers who have contributed to this art form include: #IngridBazin-BSide (Haiti/Barbados) #RogerBonaireAgard (T&T) #StaceyAnnChin (Jamaica) #Lemon (PuertoRico) #ShanelleGabriel (T&T) #MarcBamuthiJoseph (Haiti) #DeborahMagdalena (Puerto Rico) #AinsleyBurrows (Jamaica) Another chapter in #CaribbeanHeritage #oneCommunity #oneCaribbean #StrongerTogether #SocialLight https://www.instagram.com/p/CP4Bu2lhPUt/?utm_medium=tumblr
