So at this point it is my very, very great pleasure
to introduce our guest performer,
spoken word artist Teré Fowler-Chapman.
Teré Fowler-Chapman's work has been featured on a radio
station that many of us know and love, KXCI.
[WHISTLE]
Woo!
She's been featured at venues ranging from Davis Monthan Air
Force Base to events such as our All Souls procession
here in Tucson.
She's also been featured at "Take Back the Night"
and many others.
She facilitates innovative writing workshops
that create awareness in the importance of healing
through expression for youth.
And in turn, she has provided safe spaces for young adults
to express themselves.
She currently resides in Tuscon.
She hosts the community open poetry reading called "Words
on the Avenue" at Cafe Passé.
Please help me welcome Teré Fowler-Chapman.
