Ariana Brown is a queer, Black, Mexican American poet with 13 years of experience writing, performing and teaching poetry. Her work focuses on Black relationality, queer kinship and imagining a world where Black girls are free. She is the author of the poetry collections “We Are Owed” (2021) and “Sana Sana” (2020). She is a 2014 national collegiate poetry slam champion who owes much of her practice to performance communities led by Black women poets from the South. Drawing on her lived experience and her research, Brown will trace her attempts to recover Black girlhood not just for herself, but for other Black girls too. Combining storytelling, poems and dialogue, this artist talk is an opportunity to hear from Brown about how her identities and politics shape her writing. The event will take place online via Zoom.

With a seven-decade career, Willie Nelson has earned every conceivable award as a musician and amassed reputable credentials as an author, actor, and activist. He continues to thrive as a relevant and progressive musical and cultural force.

In July 2020, Willie released his album First Rose of Spring - an atmospheric soulful showcase of beautifully-written songs and poignant performances. September 2020 brought a memoir with his sister and pianist Bobbie Nelson titled, Me and Sister Bobbie: True Tales of The Family Band. For 2021, he released a new studio album in February —That's Life, Willie's second album of standards and classics made famous by Frank Sinatra (his first, 2018's My Way, earned Willie the Grammy for Best Traditional Pop Solo Album). The two legends were friends, musical colleagues, and mutual admirers of each other's work. In June 2021, a collection of his thoughts on America, family, faith and music hits shelves as a new book titled Willie Nelson’s Letters to America. These creative endeavors as well as new songs and performances that add to his classic catalog, find Willie Nelson rolling at an artistic peak, writing and singing and playing with the seasoned wit and wisdom that comes from the road.
