- The Individual World Poetry Slam Finals in Washington, D.C.
A poet and activist originating from the war-town region of Darfur, Emi Mahmoud is the reigning Individual World Poetry Slam Champion of 2015-the number one poet in the world this year. Currently a senior at Yale University, a Leonore Annenberg Scholar, and Global Health Fellow, Emi studies Anthropology and Molecular Biology at Yale in the hopes of one day alleviating structural disparities on maternal and child health in disadvantaged communities the world over. Outside of academics, Emi is involved in the Yale Refugee Project, contributes to an international research initiative, and teaches spoken word poetry on campus and through ConnCAT in order to empower youth with the power of voice in various communities. In recent years, Emi has participated in and co-coached the Yale CUPSI slam team. As a child and adolescent, Emi was a public speaker presenting poetry across the country as part of the Darfur Alert Coalition and raising awareness and aid to address the often blood-relative victims of genocide in Darfur, her homeland. A member of the Loser Slam NPS 2015 National team and 2015 World Champion, Emi has and continues to collaborate with various artists in an attempt to use poetry and other art forms to celebrate the full extent of human expression.
"Don't talk about the motherland unless you know being African is waking up an after though in this country." preach!!!!!!

"Don't be scared. I'm your mother. I wont let them through."
it's always her endings that kill me😭😭😭
She's got me over here crying...so powerful.
If Arabic was her first language and she lived in Sudan for a while then it’s truly amazing her gift with words

This just makes me think about how Muslims get treated in this world too. I had a muslim friend, people beat the shit out of her at school for believing in another God, although she tried explaining that it was the same God. I don't fucking want to live, breathe anymore...
This woman is from Darfur where an ongoing genocide and humanitarian crisis has been happening for years now. This is not even about Islam please stop trying to make it a hanger for any muslim's problems.
