“Sunni Lamin Barrow is a leading voice in this generation’s search for meaningful representation in intersectional and multidisciplinary spoken poetry. As a collaborator and spectator, I find myself charmed by his work and the contradictory effect it has on me: you’ll be smiling and crying at the same time. This duality is something I admire and find inspiring. He is the moment in which queer Black joy transcends stereotypes and makes room for something new, fresh, and hard-hitting.”
