I read, I study, adding Mao, Marx and Lenin to my knowledge of hooks, Lorde and Walker. I focus on young people and produce spoken-word events. I canvass as part of their Bus Riders’ Union, a campaign that pushes back not only on climate change by highlighting the need to reduce reliance on cars, but also provides a workable and fair public transit system for people, like my mother, who rely on buses to get to work.
