Part of our monthly Showcase Series! This month we are joined by Kyd Kane wsg Michaelyn Mankle, Gabby Sorge, and KFG. As always, we will have the multi-talented Rachel Gleason hosting. Ericka “Kyd Kane” Thompson is a writer, teacher, spoken word poet and performance activist native to Grand Rapids, MI. Kyd Kane uses her poetry to highlight issues plaguing our community and provides positive options for overcoming them. Understanding that the systems behind our struggles are deep-rooted, Kyd speaks about using the power of self-acceptance and positive thoughts to bring about change within. In 2017, Kyd Kane became the first poet to be named as a finalist in ArtPrize with her very first entry “broke(n)hunger”. Currently she can be found spreading her passion for performance art at events locally, throughout the county.
