Karla Lamb is a poet, the senior programming director at City of Asylum, and the founder of Latinx & Proud! -- a literary series whose mission is to “incite conversation, empower, and amplify the Latinx community in Pittsburgh. In this episode, Lamb speaks about identity and she shares the story of her own experiences as a self-labeled Chicana and Latinx poet. She explains the “All Pittsburghers are Poets” initiative recently launched by City of Asylum and Aadam learns what a poet laureate is. October 27 celebrates one year of the Latinx & Proud! reading series; in anticipation of that anniversary event, Lamb shares what has made her most proud so far and what she hopes to accomplish. Plus: a new socially distant, pop-up beer garden opens in the South Side. Lagerlands is a four-way collaboration between Hop Culture magazine, Cinderlands Beer Co., Burgh’ers Brewing, and De Fer Coffee & Tea.
