About the panelists:
GEORGIA STEWART MCDADE
Georgia Stewart McDade loves reading and writing. As a charter member of the African-American Writers Alliance, she began reading her stories in public in 1991. She credits the group with making her write poetry. For a number of years she has written poems inspired by artists at such sites as Gallery 110, Columbia City Gallery, and Onyx Fine Arts Collective. Georgia wrote for Pacific Newspapers, especially the South District Journal, and reported for community radio station KBCS (91.3 FM). She now writes for South Seattle Emerald and Leschinews and occasionally hosts Hearts and Soul and South End Stories on KVRU (105.7). Her first volume of poetry, Outside the Cave, was followed by Outside the Cave II, III, and IV. She hopes soon to publish her doctoral dissertation and the journals she kept on her six-month, solo trip around the world. Now available is McDades first collection of prose, Observation and Revelations: Stories, Sketches, and Essays.
