To celebrate Black history month, local poet, storyweaver, artist Djeli (formerly William Forchion) will present "Remembering the Ancestors". The presentation will be a dynamic conversation about our shared history and intentionally stepping into the future. Remembering the ancestors will include recent unpublished writings as well as readings from Djeli's previously published poems and essays.

Djeli is a story weaver who helps transform overwhelm to overjoy. Ki uses oral and written traditions, including poetry, to create an atmosphere of curiosity and dialogue, even around difficult topics. Ki helps others breathe life into their own stories as part of a healing process by speaking from the heart. *Ki (pronoun) a divine being of love and light.
