This month, we have two dynamic features: Bay Davis and Aman Batra!

Born and raised in South L.A., Bay Davis was a community organizer and poet before becoming a model. Her rising visibility as an Afro-Indigenous spoken-word performer six years ago led to features in magazines and occasional commercial work for companies like Soundcloud, Pandora, Hinge, Out Magazine, and Crocs. Davis’s poems are her experiences and outlook personified. Blending poetry, content creation, and advocacy all into one isn’t easy, but poet and creative Bay Davis makes the work of artistry in the digital age look effortless. Davis is blazing a path forward for herself that displays her art and centers her humanity. -via Los Angeles Time

Aman K. Batra is a nationally touring, Punjabi-American poet from Artesia, CA. She graduated from UCLA with a BA in Creative Writing, and is currently obtaining her MFA in poetry at Antioch University. She is a TEDx speaker, a National Poetry Slam finalist, and a member of the 2016 and 2017 Hollywood Slam Team. Aman’s poetry is heavily tied to her work as an educator, activist, and intersectional feminist. Her work has been featured on All Def Poetry, Button Poetry, Vibe, BeSe, and The Huffington Post. She has been published in The Los Angeles Press, LA County Arts Commission, and Fight Evil With Poetry Anthology. -via AmanBatra.com
