Becoming the Poem: Guest Gracia Nicholls

One of those conversations that are meaningful in more ways than one because they are real, raw and authentic. Join Gracia and I in a conversation we tried to have in Uganda, failed dismally, nothing seemed to align for us in 2022 so to be able to finally do this was such a win for us both. When you listen to this episode you pick up why Gracia is a Storyteller and why she is the depiction of the term deep. She feels acutely and some of these emotions end up hanging out on pages and lounging in meaning in songs as she weaves stories that give a generation language for expressing pain that can’t be interpreted easily. Gracia Nicholls is a storyteller, who has graced national and over 10 international stages as a performer, poet and speaker. She is the founder of Bly Staan , a brand that seeks to inspire and encourage people. Her passion for social transformation using the arts has her working for NPO South Roots international and serving as a mentor and performer for ATKV-CRESCENDO. You can find her Spoken word across platforms. Gracia PERFORMS a Spoken word piece in the middle of this Sit down. https://open.spotify.com/track/5G47ldU9F6xrk6HecgSSDS?si=jI3jBBNXSX2B1CbW_2u6Wg
