On may 10th I read the Poem “I Stand with You” as part of the Street Roots vendor reading and Zine release at the Light the Hearth Festival. Charles did take video of me reading of which I have yet to watch, however as soon as I obtain the proper permissions to add the video to my Facebook I will attach the link to the original blog post for “I Stand with You”.
Which included the following events.
