A Different Kind of Poetry Broadcast
In honor of Juneteenth, QLPORYT presents a special episode titled "Two Sisters and a Brotha." Hosted by Dr. Michael Anthony Ingram, this powerful poetry reading brings together renowned poets and real-life sisters Cheryl J. Jackson and Lyris Dee Wallace, who are not only best-selling authors but have also achieved the remarkable feat of reaching number 1 on Amazon's list of poetry books, alongside Dr. Ingram himself. Through a series of solo readings, the poets present a compelling collection of works that explore the Black experience, delving into a wide range of human emotions and addressing crucial issues of social justice. Their poems touch on themes of love, resilience, family, relationships, racial oppression, identity, and personal well-being. As the poets share their art on this significant day, they reflect on their rich heritage, pay tribute to influential figures who have shaped their lives and communities, and deliver impactful messages that resonate with listeners. The episode serves as a testament to the transformative power of poetry and its ability to shed light on the complexities of the human experience, while also honoring the legacy of Juneteenth and the ongoing struggle for equality. "Two Sisters and a Brotha" offers a thought-provoking and emotionally charged listening experience that celebrates the talent and wisdom of these three remarkable poets. Tune in on this Juneteenth to be inspired, challenged, and moved by their words, as we commemorate this pivotal moment in American history and celebrate the incredible success of best-selling authors and sisters Cheryl J.
