Audre grew up in Lawrence, MA and is now a freshman at Simmons University as a Kotzen Scholar with a double major in Neuroscience and Journalism. She enjoys every form of art that exists ranging from classical ballet to studio art. Mention any sort of anime or animated show and she will indulge. She spends most of her time with her beats on or her head in a book or curating her ring collection. Her goals as a writer are to read more, write more, and discover her voice as a queer Afro-Latine.
Inspired by Emily Dickinson’s poem “Hope” is a thing with feathers”, this poem talks about Hope as a fleeting, never-reaching entity in the Dominican Republic where Hope is a cultural and spiritual value within generations.
