Sister Outsider Poetry
Two of the top three female slam poets in the world, Dominique Christina and Denice Frohman, have teamed up as the Sister Outsider Poetry team, and are slated to visit the University of Idaho Wednesday as part of their tour.
Inspired by the work of famous activist Audre Lorde, Frohman and Christina write and perform poetry and use words as their tools for social change.
Their tour marks the first time two women from the Women of the World Poetry Slam Championships have worked together on tour. The two have appeared on six national poetry slam finals stages and have six championship titles between them.
Christina and Frohman will perform at 7 p.m. Oct. 1 in the Vandal Ballroom of the Student Union Building.
The event is sponsored by the UI Division of Diversity and Human Rights, Office of Multicultural Affairs and LGBTQA Office. The event is free and open to the public.
