Aloha community,

Black is a Poem (BIAP) is an art space that highlights diverse Black experiences through poetry, writing, and community building. We intend to create safe community spaces for Black folks who are: anxious, depressed, shy, on the neurodivergent spectrum, disabled, LGTQIA+, or have other marginalized identities.

Our spaces are intentionally for Black folks to exist amongst each other. We occasionally host in-person spaces that are open to allies. We welcome you to be in community and in solidarity with us as we fight against oppressive systems.
