Thunda N Mimosas: This One’s for The Girls

Steinman Hall | Ware Center
FREE
“This One’s For the Girls” is a Poetry showcase made up of 6 powerhouse women-identifying poets that local writer Thunda Khatt met over the last two years as a traveling performer. The showcase includes J Rose from Brooklyn, NY; A Glowing Poet from Baltimore, MD; Baby The Poet of Bethlehem, PA, Lady Syren and Mary Mance both from Philly; and opening the show is Lancaster’s own Aniah Heaven.
Refreshments will be provided by The 2 Board Girls. We’re kicking off Women’s History Month the right way with all women entertainers, vendors, and crew. Remember, anything he can do, we can do better!
Thunda Khatt is a Writer and Spoken Word Poet from Baltimore MD based out of Lancaster PA. She’s been word-bending for as long as she’s been able to hold a pen but has only referred to herself as a poet since taking a creative writing class during her senior year of high school. She credits the teacher of that class with igniting her pen after introducing her to Russel Simmons’ Def Poetry Jam. Through her poetry, Thunda Khatt tells the stories of the unheard. She lifts her voice to amplify those before her that could not speak and encourages those after her never to forget the power of their voice.
