Many of the experiences shared at Poetry and Chill are filled with pain and suffering. One poet asks, “How are we mistaken for X-Men? This ain’t a mutant that you shooting with unbreakable skin.”

Mitch English, Fox 25

There's an after school workshop in the Metro that is giving kids a chance to use creativity, positivity and productivity to work out how they are feeling.

Amara, Student
