Description
Adrienne Plummer seeks to motivate, inspire, and uplift Black people. She fell in love with writing in the 4th grade after reading a book report aloud to the applause of her eager peers. This started her spoken word journey, which had been a long time coming. Throughout her early years and adolescence, she perfected her craft, culminating in the publication of her first poem in 1984. With Vanessa Williams' crowning as Miss Black America as a backdrop, Adrienne drew inspiration from proud Black women.When she later went to Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee, she joined a college poetry club and majored in English. As her professor read feminist poetry, Adrienne's activism was sparked. She learned about prominent activist figures and interviewed student leaders. Years later, during the height of a social justice reckoning, she read Becoming by Michelle Obama and Jenifer Lewis' autobiography. Upon hearing two other prominent Black women speak on overcoming struggles, Adrienne was inspired to reignite her voice. Often a quiet and 'Chi' Brown girl, she is vocal in her poetry. These powerful poems will help readers hear the cry of a Black woman.
