Flexin’ My Expression was created as a way for students in the UC San Diego community to have a platform to express themselves, destress from the UC San Diego environment, witness the talent of their peers, and connect to the Greater San Diego Poetry Community. It was started November 21, 2015 by Kyler Nathan and Cambria Anderson, two interns at UC San Diego’s Black Resource Center and will be carried on by Jzov Stith Gambles, a current intern at the Black Resource Center, and Aliaya White.
We are excited to announce the fifth installment of Flexin’ My Expression!
