Roya Marsh and Jamaal Bowman (Advocate of Wordz Edition)

Roya Marsh is a nationally renowned poet whose book "Daylight" was recently published by MacMillan Publishing. Host Advocate of Wordz and Roya discuss her personal experience at the Black Lives Matter protest here in New York City, her thoughts on the NYPD, how she came into writing and performing, her family's support, and the process of getting her book of poems published with a major publishing house. The show ends with a quick interview with Congressman hopeful Jamaal Bowman. Wordz asks him why he's running and why anyone who has become disgusted and disenfranchised by contemporary politicians should even care.
