As part of the City of Providence Department of Art Culture and Tourism @providenceact "Sidewalk Tattoo" project, my poem, The Descendants, is now tattooed on Webster Ave. in Providence. Deep gratitude for this beautiful moment.

Over the last year and a half, I have been working as the Project Manager for the Providence chapter of Arts for Everybody. A national Arts & Health campaign from One Nation/One Project.  Eighteen cities were selected to unveil large-scale participatory arts project, on July 27th all cities unveil our work, simultaneously. In Providence, this work was a collaboration between the Department of Art, Culture & Tourism, the Department of Housing and Human Services and the Providence Housing Authority.  We had two artistic residencies at two PHA sites (Carroll Towers and Chad Brown). I was thrilled to work in partnership with artists Carolina Briones and Vatic Kummba to create two beautiful, community filled events.  Find out more here:  https://www.artsforeverybody.org/providence-ri
