DO NOT BE AFRAID: Personal Growth Through Struggle

Hosted by YELLOW RAGE (Michelle Myers & Catzie Vilayphonh), our popular monthly Asian American open mic FAMILY STYLE welcomes extended "family" from all communities and cultures. April's open mic features poet LOVELLA CALICA and the theme "DO NOT BE AFRAID: Personal Growth Through Struggle."

LOVELLA CALICA is a writer, photographer, and multi-media artist. With backgrounds in Human Development, English, and social justice organizing, she offers a unique perspective and develops creative, collaborative ways of organizing and communicating. She is the founder and director of the Warrior Writers Project, a creative community for veterans articulating their experiences. She has edited two anthologies of Iraq era veterans' writing/art entitled Move, Shoot and Communicate and Re-Making Sense. Lovella has received two Art and Change grants from the Leeway Foundation and was recently honored with the Transformation Award. She published her first chapbook of poetry Makibaka: Beautifully Brave in 2006 and is planning to complete a full book of writing in the spring of 2010. Lovella is a co-founder of the Pilipino-American artist collective, Tatlo Mestiz@s.
