Angry Black Woman, poem in lockdown

COLLAGE ARTS have been working with the local black, asian and ethnic minority community for a long time, helping them find a voice.  We are asking a number of our artistic associates to share their creative outputs which shine a light on Black Lives Matter, from their experience and perspective.

ANGRY BLACK WOMAN is part of a series “We Matter: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow” by Sandra Howell.  Recorded by Martina Laird, actor and diversity champion. Art by Damel Carayol.

Angry Black Woman is second of a trilogy of poems developed by Sandra Howell. She is a member of our community of writers at Collage Writing Room. Sandra honed her skills on the ‘Short Fiction Workshop’ with Kiare Ladner in Autumn 2019.  She read her flash fiction at our sharing event at McQueens Theatre in December 2019
