Description: We are honored to welcome Semaj Brown to campus for a powerful reading and discussion of her poem "Black Dandelion." A masterful storyteller, Brown's work explores resilience, identity, and the beauty of resistance. This is more than a poetry reading-its a chance to engage with a transformative artist whose words challenge, inspire, and spark meaningful dialogue. Don't miss this opportunity to experience the power of poetry and conversation with one of Flint's most influential voices.
