October's Poet of the month.
Celebrating Black History Month and Down Syndrome Awareness Month
This October, we are celebrating the work of Oneness Sankara, an award-winning poet, writer and performer, and her son Apedemak (Peddy), who has Trisomy 21, more commonly known as Down syndrome. [simonandschuster.com], [youtube.com]
Together, they have created a powerful poem about the importance of using words for good. Their message encourages us to choose language that is kind, respectful, and inclusive, recognising the impact our words can have on others.
