Public Performance by Chinese-Jamaican poetry slammer Staceyann Chin.

Chin was also a co-writer and performer in the Tony-nominated “Russell Simmons’ Def Poetry Jam” on Broadway. Her provocative and well-received personal stage memoir, “Border/Clash,” brought to Culture Project the heart-pounding story of a young woman’s journey to womanhood as a gay, female, Jamaican-Chinese immigrant in America.
