During the course of the evening, Vang will read selections from her work, guide the audience in creating a community poem and discuss how one can use writing as a tool for social justice. Participants will leave with a copy of Vang’s children’s book, Shoua and the Northern Lights Dragon, a DVD of the MN Original episode in which Vang appears, a set of corresponding activity guides and a fresh way to approach folktales, storytelling and poetry in the classroom.

(In case you missed it, here’s Vang’s segment:)
Yes! Ka Vang is a dear friend, fierce cultural conduit, loving mother, insightful intellect, awesome ARTist and much more! Her MN mingled Hmong roots are simmering shimmering glowing and KNOWING. Listen to and heed her wise words-infused as we all are-with our Ancestors spirits.
Well said, Sylvia! It promises to be a wonderful event!
