On March 2, ΒιΆΉΒγΑΔ’s English Club sponsored a workshop, titled β€œSelf-love and Beauty,” by David Romero, a Mexican-American spoken word poet and activist.

Romero performed pieces of his own poetry on the topic of self-image. He then led an exercise in which the students worked as a group to collectively create a poem that represented their concepts of self-love. He concluded the workshop by guiding the students to individually write their own poems, which they shared with the group.

English Club President Alanna Sachse described the event as β€œvery inclusive” and β€œrelaxed.” β€œEveryone was able to share without being nervous,” she said.

Club member Melanie Calicchio agreed. β€œIt was both entertaining and interactive! A great introduction into the world of spoken word art,” she stated, adding, β€œRomero’s passion was palpable!”
