Come join us for our first in-person meetup since before COVID-19. Bring a park chair or blanket, your sunscreen and writing pad and meet your PG County MWA officers while enjoying a poetry reading and talk with Dr. Ayo Sekai. This meeting is in partnership with BWPSJ and their monthly Poets in the Park quiet meet-up. Looking forward to seeing you!

Dr. Ayo Sekai is a poet, Fulbright Specialist and a life member of multiple academic and practitioner associations. She serves on numerous boards and is an active scholar presenting and writing on topics that align with her research scholarly publications, including her recorded social justice poetry as a spoken word poetic activist and her book, A2: A Scholarly Poetical Science Discourse. Sekai has leveraged her partnership with SAGE Publishing, a global social science press, to effect and impact the voice of the diaspora as actors and agents to no longer be observed but to be observers of history through intellectual discourse. Dr. Ayo Sekai has worked to advance outcomes for education and business through academic research, federal leadership, and scholarly publications through UWP Press. Sekai has taught as a high and middle school K-12 teacher, is a prolific invited presenter and speaker, and faculty and academic development thought leader with decades of expertise in print media, magazine, fiction, and trade publications.
