The Georgetown-Howard Center for Medical Humanities and Health Justice is hosting an event in collaboration with The Good Listening Project and the American Poetry Museum to honor the voices of those impacted by cancer in the D.C. area.
Listener Poet Ravenna Raven recently spent a day at the Georgetown Lombardi Cancer Center, and alongside colleagues Yvette Perry and Sibihan Lawrence — who led online listening sessions with Howard University and additional D.C. cancer care communities — they captured moving stories of health justice.
Join us on Wednesday, April 9th for an event that will feature poems reflecting the strength, grief, and injustices often overlooked in healthcare and policy discussions.
