'Love me Before the City Disappears' from The Bay Podcast

I met Mu'min years ago through creative Bay Area circles, now I count her as a friend, and she's flourished in her craft. From her film, Jinn, winning the SXSW Special Jury Recognition Award for Writing to writing for acclaimed shows, Queen Sugar, the Blindspotting series, Wu-Tang: An American Saga, and Insecure. But way before all of that, Nijla attended UC Berkeley, where her experiences in June Jordan’s Poetry for the People Program left an indelible mark. She still writes poetry to this day. In late April Mu’min shared some of her work with the Bay Podcast's Maria Esquinca in celebration of National Poetry Month. This week we're sharing that episode with you.
