Tonight!
April 23rd Tune into Soul Conversations with the Leaders of The New Cool crew as we close out National Poetry month with poet, force, host, scholar and more, Ife Al-Din, who is celebrating the release of her debut book of poetry "A Third Win".
Ife Al-Din is a DC native that began her journey as a poet during childhood before emerging as a multidisciplinary teaching artist, wardrobe stylist and event curator in 2022. As of 2024, she is also a self-published poet and 2x open mic host under her entity, Love Iconic. Thanks to her home base BloomBars, Love’s Iconic Open Mic celebrated 1 year of encouraging vulnerability, self-empowerment, interdependence and wholeness in December 2023. Ife’s art is an extension of her interest in psychology, which she received her undergraduate degree in, graduating Cum Laude from Bowie State University in 2017.Through poetry and visual art, Ife critiques the restless, selfish way the western world socializes us while calling back our individual and collective power.
As a community organizer, DC SCORES writing coach, and current Leaders of Color fellow, she continues to build systems and programs to positively influence this call for all
