We are grateful to Dr. Gabbin and the Furious Flower crew for giving us a platform, to Nikky Finney, Vievee Francis, and Greg Pardlo for being such generous financial contributors and fierce advocates, grateful for endless advice from Kwame Dawes, and our retreat and online master class facilitators past, present, and future for their time and positive energy.
