In late September, poet, writer, activist and local Brooklynite Aja Monet came to campus to read her work and discuss her artistry amidst this complex and daunting  political climate.  As a performer and presenter Aja has appeared independently at Town Hall Theater and  the Apollo Theater. She was also prestigiously chosen to perform at the NAACP’s Barack Obama Inaugural event in Washington D.C.
