Brianna Clarke-Arias
Brianna Clarke-Arias is a poet and essayist who primarily explores history as a legacy of power through her writing. Most of her works act as personal genealogies of imperialism as a Dominican-American. As an adult, she wants to build national labor unions to protect Black rights, women’s rights, and immigrant rights. Brianna has gotten five bee stings in her left hand and does not want you to feel guilty for your anger but to listen to it.
