OLMEC: 100 Black Women Speak

Olmec begins its 100 Great Black Women Speak 2021 Exhibition with a launch of 20 Black women and girls from across the globe who were invited to submit spoken word, poetry, or performance pieces in film format.

For her contribution to the exhibition, Yemi read poetry by literarily greats. The poems shared were “Dreams “ by Langston Hughes and  “Dawn Revisited” by Rita Dove.

For Yemí, both pieces are inspirational as they are a reminder to dream and dream big, live life to the fullest, to persevere and  look to a positive future by holding on to the visions that strengthen and empower.
