As many of you know, I work full-time for Simmons College producing multimedia videos, blogging, and photography. This was a faculty profile I put together on English Professor Afaa Weaver. He is a nationally known and acclaimed poet, sometimes referred to as the “black Walt Whitman.” He grew up in East Baltimore and worked in a factory during his early career while writing poetry about his struggles. It was truly an inspiration to be able to work on this video and interview him.
