Mental Health Awareness Month
Poetry Salon
The DC Poetry Project and the Consumer Council of the DC Chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness will co-sponsor a salute to playwright-poet-novelist Ntozake Shange. Ms. Shange has publicly shared her story about living with a mental disorder (www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pbh1TZ27rqI).
In her honor, there will be a showing of one of Ms. Shange's most acclaimed works at the Watha T. Daniel/Shaw Neighborhood Library (see below). The program will be facilitated by Sophie Ford Clark. Ms. Clark is Executive Director of the Washington DC Chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness.
