Vocab at AALCI

Andrea Vocab Sanderson



The Fellows had a great time today as AALCI founder Joycelyn Moody sponsored a presentation by San Antonio Poet Laureate Andrea "Vocab" Sanderson.

Vocab talked poetry, curating events, singing, collaborating with various folks, organizing social media and activism campaigns, and more.




"Meeting San Antonio Poet Laureate Andrea 'Vocab' Sanderson in such an intimate setting felt like such a privilege," said Nicole Dixon. "Being able to ask questions about becoming a poet laureate, her poetry, and her work balance was beyond helpful. Hearing and seeing her story allowed me to envision myself pursuing my dreams in a more clear way now."




Yaqkeha Witherspoon said that the "experience to be very informative, inspiring, and moving."

"One thing I particularly enjoyed," said Chaunece Reed, "was the comfortability that the speaker" had with the group.
