Behind the Words of a Poet

Listen in on Siyams new YouthSoup episode in which she takes a deep dive into poetry, exploring the power of words and how they can evoke emotions, paint vivid pictures, and tell compelling stories. Joined by poets Sagirah Shahid and Ibtisam Sid.

YouthSoup is a youth produced podcast from Listen Up Youth Radio. Each episode is told from your everyday youth who discuss real-life social issues that teens and young adults face in our daily lives. As media storytellers, it is our intention to add some youth to your soup, some flavor to your day, and to acknowledge and raise awareness of these topics to let you know you are not alone. “This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.”
