The Pan Afrikan Poets Café (PAPC) an already legendary Afrikan literary salon pops up once again, this time at the Arts Centre Melbourne on Friday 14 July. This special pop up event is called Black Girl Magic, and Sista Zai started the project as an event that celebrates Africa’s rich literary legacy and diverse storytelling traditions.

On today’s program we feature the voices of four performing artists involved in Black Girl Magic.

You’ll hear from Brownsugababe, a South African Poet, Jay J is a facilitator of poetry and homemade treats in a place called Ms Millie’s Poetry Café, Nyawuda Chuol a young African-Australian actress, and of course, Sista Zai Zunda, the curator and creator of Black Girl Magic.
