Herkimer College will host slam poet Porsha Olayiwola on Thursday, September 15 in the Sarkus Busch Theater of the Robert McLaughlin College Center at 12:30 p.m. The performance is open to the public and free of charge.

Olayiwola is a national poetry slam champion who performs issue-based poetry by applying advanced political analysis to examine injustice while providing perspective on creative solutions. Porsha confronts the theory that people seeking money at all costs blinds them to injustice which then leads to slavery, homophobia and nearly all other societal ills plaguing the world.

The event is sponsored by the Women’s Club and Gay-Straight Alliance. For more information, contact Jane Verri, Associate Professor of Social Science, at 315-866-0300, ext. 8648.
