March 20th Diversity Dialogue presentation: Spoken-word and Hmong American Identity

You are invited to an upcoming Diversity Dialogue presentation on Spoken-word and Hmong American Identity

Tou Saiko Lee from the Center for Hmong Arts and Talent (CHAT) and member of the hip-hop group Delicious Venom (a favorite of Hmong adolescents) will be joining us to share his work with spoken-word and CHAT. Items he will address include his:
- introduction to spoken-word/poetry,
- work at CHAT (Hmong Chronicles, H-Project),
- work in Twin Cities schools/community centers with spoken-word poetry, and the positive impact of hip-hop on his and other Hmong youth's lives.

With time permitting, he'll also perform a couple of his poems.

This DD is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, March 20th from 12noon-1:15pm in Peik Hall, Room 40 .

Tou Saiko is a great spoken-word artist.
