I sat down with writer and poet Leeza Joneé to talk about her latest creative venture #TheBreathingSpace Co-partnered with Frei Speech.( resident DJ of EyeSpyBK) A monthly forum and open dialogue hosted at Ode To Babel in Brooklyn, NYC. We talk about the value in bringing people together, the importance of women telling their stories and creating spaces to explore and be themselves. I asked about navigating womanhood, being shaped by your experiences and how much life can change in one year! Lastly, we talk about poetry, writing, staying motivated and self care regimens.
