Poetry Workshop with Jovan Mays
Join us each Tuesday in May at 2pm ET | 1pm CT | 11am PT for our #BraveDays Poetry Workshop led by Brave alum Jovan Mays. For this 30-minute workshop, Jovan will lead us in poetry exercises that can help us in sharing our mental health story though poetic expression.
Jovan Mays is the emeritus Poet Laureate of Aurora, Colorado, a National Poetry Slam Champion, TED Speaker, the Youth Voice Coordinator of Aurora Public Schools, and Director of Your Writing Counts, a youth poetry program throughout the Denver Metro that engages just over 200,000 students annually.
Jovan shared his story in our Stories from the Black Community Show this past February and in our 2016 This Is My Brave Denver Show.
