On a cold, damp February night, a small but dedicated audience gathered at the Green Line Performing Arts Center to celebrate the accomplishments of black women for In the Spirit’s “Sister Girls and Freedom Fighters,” a performance combining poetry, spoken word, storytelling, and singing with created opportunities for testimonials from audience members. The performance is part of the center’s GreenLight Series, which features various performing arts disciplines.
Baker played the talking drum and sang, providing the soundtrack for Lansana as she recited poems and told stories of brave women from across the world.
