When They Were Young: Amplifying Voices of Adoptees

Ep 66. matthew anthony: "You Can Not Burn The Sun" A Book of Poetry

Lanise Antoine Shelley

Today I speak with poet, artist, and activist matthew anthony. Matthew has a podcast called "Little Did You Know" and a vibrant poetry book called "You Can Not Burn The Sun."

We discuss:
- Reclaiming ones name
- Rehoming and separating siblings 
- What "with-ness" is in regards to solidarity 
- And the resiliency of a black spirit brought up in a Sun Down town
