• 🌈Today is the day! The Mosaic Literary Conference is happening at 12pm EST on zoom! ❣️⚡️This year’s theme “Revolution of Radical Change” is about acknowledging and naming the ways that activists, community organizers, poets, archivists, photographers, and writers are confronting and creating new ways of resistance and creating joy against fascism, historical erasure, and oppression.💥Today a brilliant group of people will share their experiences, thoughts and questions about what revolution of radical change means in each of their respective fields and places. We will hear from folks based in North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, Queens, NY and of course The Bronx.🌞

Our keynote speaker is the legendary Dr. Cleo Silvers Someone close to my heart for close to 17 years and a living revolutionary of our times. 💐
We gather understanding the double edged sword that exists from living in the United States, the worlds leading imperialist country and the impact that has on social justice movements globally. Thinking about the Black and indigenous movements in Brasil, Haiti, Ecuador, Iran, Palestine and the ways the United States playbook of imperialism plays out in the Global South to squash movements of radical change. Today we speak from the belly of the beast with our hearts on our sleeves. 🎤❤️🔥
