I haven't done the Monday Oh So Dope Award in quite some time, which is surprising to me. I am constantly finding things that I think are clever, insightful, and just down right dope!! (Yes, I was born in the '80s. Dope will always mean "cool"!!)
It's National Poetry Month, and I found an amazing site (well, more like rediscovered), that has given me some amazing writing prompts to use. Rachel McKibbens is one of my favorite spoken word artists, and by far the dopest mom I have come across in a long time. Need some evidence of Rachel's dopeness? Check this Def Poetry performance out (with then husband, George):
So freakin' dope!!
Just like her blog, which contains enough spectacular writing and poetry exercises to make budding writers foam at the mouth. Rachel is a prime example of why we should toss the old adage "Those who can't, teach." She is a masterful teacher, in an art form that she clearly commands. Oh so dope, Ms. McKibbens, oh so dope, indeed!!
