5 Elements of a Poet: Lessons to Apply To Craft and Life
In her many years and extensive experience as a professional performance poet, Salome Agbaroji has become well acquainted with the fundamentals of storytelling craft. Salome discusses and demonstrates the five major elements she’s learned as integral to being a great poet. By the end of this talk, the audience will not only be confident in how to apply these lessons to improve their artistry but also implement them as practices of daily life to become better individuals and empathetic citizens.
The Importance of Human Literacy in An Increasingly Automated World
We live in a world where computer programs gain literacy before people do. To Salome Agbaroji, the daughter of Nigerian immigrants who did not always have access to education, that’s a major issue.
People say “technology is becoming too human!” referencing chatbots like ChatGPT that can interpret textual information and produce a coherent response, or machine learning that allows programs to teach themselves. So, if we consider the ability to read, write, and learn to be fundamental to what it means to be human, why do we sit idly while 700 million humans are denied their human right to equitable education?
Salome will address the popular topic of Artificial Intelligence and Big Data from a poet’s perspective, emphasizing the importance of human literacy in an increasingly automated world.
Artivism: Using Art as a Vehicle of Social Change
Every social movement in history used art to achieve its goals. Salome Agbaroji teaches how art has the power to humanize, mobilize, and popularize movements and initiatives.
In this conversation, Salome explains how her artistry and advocacy exist synergistically, and how that relationship has been able to ignite change in spaces like the United Nations and the White House. This talk aims to make activism more accessible to anyone simply willing to make a positive change.
The Unsung Genius of Black Culture
Ghetto. Indolent. Worthless. Black culture is consistently undermined and overlooked with words like these.
Countering this narrative, Salome illuminates the unconventional ways innovation shows up in Black culture that society continues to ignore. From hip-hop as literature to sustainable living, Black culture breeds innovation that can be practically applied to academia, environmentalism, and other fields.
The audience will leave with a newfound appreciation and respect for Black culture, seeing it less as something to criticize and more as a wealth of valuable lessons to learn from.
