This is WHQR Presents — where we platform creators and people with interesting perspectives from around the region. Today’s show, recorded to commemorate Juneteenth, is From a Poet’s Point of View — from Speak Ya Peace NC, a poetry collective and platform that facilitates art and conversations about issues stemming from racism and other forms of oppression and discrimination.

April is National Poetry Month, and WHQR arts reporter Demia Avery spoke with poet, singer, and activist Mahlaynee Cooper, also known as Carrie Assata about the musical roots of her poetry, some of her heroines, and the work she's doing today.
