Salaam Green, Birmingham’s poet laureate, just landed a major national fellowship to launch a poetry and hip-hop workshop for teens at Jefferson Youth Detention Center. Backed by a $50,000 grant, her Lyrics for Life Birmingham program will use poetry as a tool for healing, self-expression, and personal growth—right where it’s needed most. Green’s work always centers on giving a voice to those who are often unheard, and this project is set to spark real change in our community. How do you think creative arts can help transform lives, especially for young people facing tough circumstances? #Entertainment #Books #Birmingham
