The readings covered social, political and economic issues that are webbed into the poet’s lives, creating a co-existence that reflects their dual identities and the multiple layers of what it means to be British today. The performances were followed by an open mic where we had writer Marjorie Morgan, Singer-songwriter, performer Perri Alleyne, Bradley from Kitchen Sink Live and Niloo Sharifi our Videographer share some of their poetry and writing with Teresa a community activist saying a few inspirational words. It was an amazing way to end the night giving the platform to our audiences and more artists supporting artists.
