This past June, I was able to attend an event unlike any that I had ever been to before…a spoken-word event! Held at the Victory Black Box Theater located in the L.A. Lee YMCA/Mizell Community Center, Katrina Jo Sapp-Holder, also known as “Poettis,” held a spectacular show entitled “A Sistrunk Tale’’ with amazing guest performances by Ja’Nia Harden and Allen C. Paul, and a beautifully composed soundtrack by Poettis’ musically gifted daughter, Jae Kerenza Holder. When I thought to myself how I should write about this outstanding event, it only felt right to go along with the theme of spoken word and write a poem of the experience.
