CUFA USA - Michigan hosted a Community Poetry Workshop

CUFA USA - Michigan hosted a Community Poetry Workshop at a public city school with renowned poet, dramatist and film maker Kareemah El Amim. El Amin is a very influential name in the field of social projects linked to poetry, art and music.

This was an excellent opportunity to introduce CUFA, not only to Kareemah, but also to the community in general allowing a space for development of new and bigger contacts.

We were invited by Kareemah to attend a poetry audition taking place next week, where we will give continuity to the conversations we began today where she demonstrated much motivation and affirmed that it will be a great pleasure to contribute to the promotion of other activities along with CUFA USA.

This is another opportunity facilitating creative development and expression for the youth of the United States of America, with a foundation built of not just amazing teamwork between CUFA USA and dedicated Artists such as Kareemah, but more importantly with the mission to open up a window of hope for youth of less fortunate communities to naturally develop their creativity and consequently hope and belief that “You CAN do anything you set your mind too.”
