Jared Singer performing at the 7th annual Wade-Lewis Poetry Slam. Singer is an award winning Slam Poet who has been the inspiration, mentor, and friend for so many people across the country. He inspires our youth to embrace their inner selves and child while creating beautiful poetry. This poetry slam was conducted in loving memory of the late Dr. Wade-Lewis, who was an advocate for students and spoken word artists at SUNY New Paltz. She was also the head of the Black Studies department.
Three teams performed this year: SUNY New Paltz, SUNY Binghamton, and SUNY Oneonta. It was a beautiful performance with raw emotion of topics ranging from suicide, sexual assault, racism, and so on. All from talented young artists.
