e. nina jay describes herself as “a Black, Lesbian, Womon, Writer who uses poetry as a tool of survival and to break silences around all forms of violence against gurls and womyn, with particular focus on the intersections of race, sexuality, and poverty.”
Performing at the Ohio Lesbian Festival, The National Women’s Music Festival, Black Women Rise, Big Mouth Girl Fest, and Cinema Systers, this Chicago native breaks silences and unravels shame, connecting to her audience in a way that allows them a place to live, to be honest, to be uncomfortable, a place to be whole.
After the reading, e. nina will host an Open Mic Poetry Reading. Please bring your own truths and tales, poems and stories, and let’s revel in Lesbian creativity and Lesbian voices!
