On Being American SINE

As a 2026 Sine Institute Fellow, Kwame offers this insightful and riviting seminar series exploring how stories of all types shape our sense of identity and connection as an American. Writers, artists and scholars will reflect on the power of poetry and storytelling through a series of talks and discussions, sparking thoughtfulness on how the varied voices in American weave together to tell its story - past, present and future.

This special event is dedicated to Kwame's dear friend and renowned musician Maritri Garrett.

The event is free, but registration is required.
