“This poem is your talisman. Wear it like a cloak of stars.
I will stitch you a galaxy for every black hole.”
– Sheniz Janmohamed, “Noble Soul”

Sheniz Janmohamed, a writer and spoken-word artist, is undaunted, and through her organization Ignite Poets, she is striving to promote literary expression as a means of instigating social change.
