This post is part of ARC’s Chronicles of Change and Hope series. This is a curated project for sharing stories, songs, prayers, poems, images, or insights that capture a moment of connection or new life. It is a place to share small acts of resistance or transformation you want others to know about. Rights remain with the contributors. To contribute to Chronicles, read more here.
Today’s contribution is a piece of spoken word art. The performance comes to us from ARC member Joe Davis, who debuted the piece with us in April as part of an Insights interview he did with us. Recently, Joe said we could share this piece with you all and we’re excited to do so here.

He is the Founder and Director of multimedia production company, The New Renaissance, the frontman of emerging soul funk band, The Poetic Diaspora, and qualified administrator of the Intercultural Development Inventory.
