Spoken-word artist Kelly Zin-Yie
Tsai will perform at Washington
State University Vancouver's M ar­
quee Diversity event at 7 p.m. March
27 in the Dengerink Administration
building,room llO .
Tsai is a Chicago-born, Brook­
lyn-based, C hinese-T aiw anese-
American poet who uses spoken-
word performances to fight for cul­
tural pride and survival. She has
become one of the country's lead­
ing innovators of spoken-word po­
etry.
Bola Majekobaje, assistant di­
rector of Student Diversity for the
university, believes her performance
will resonate with the community,
particularly students who are pas­
sionate about spoken word, writ­
ing, poetry and art.
"Tsai's diverse artistic and com­
munity work covers everything from
empowerment of underrepresented
people to women's issues, youth
activism, Asian-American empow­
erment and more, " said Majekobaje.
"Through her stories and poetry,
the audience will have a chance to
'explore diversity,' which is a stu­
dent learning outcome for the Stu­
dent Diversity office."
