The Spoken Soul Festival, held annually was hosted by the Design District in Miami in conjunction with the Women Arts and the international celebration of women artists called SWAN Day (Support Women Artists Now). Spoken Soul Productions and six entertainment industry leaders of South Florida annually host and produce Spoken Soul Festival.
The festival features three events: Swan Community Program-Healing Through The Arts, SWAN Spoken Soul Showcase Vol 3, and the Vanessa Baez Women’s Brunch Memorial.
The festival brought workshops to their spoken word club led by published poet Amy Baez and to their film students led by filmmaker and activist Somy Ali.
I had the opportunity to attend the festival and meet women from all walks of life: poets, designers, photographers, painters, singers, sisters, mothers, daughters, wives, cancer survivors and divorcees. All women sharing their stories and their love for women and the arts.
I sat down with Deborah Magdalene, founder of Spoken Soul Festival about how she managed to gather together and encourage the local female artists to celebrate SWAN Day.
