Jillian Hanesworth poetic voice of Buffalo | SpacedOut Podcast
In this profound episode of SpacedOut Podcast, we sit down with Jillian Hanesworth, Buffalo's first-ever Poet Laureate and a beacon of artistic and social change. Born and raised on the East side of Buffalo, NY, Jillian began her creative journey at a young age, writing songs for her mother to sing in church, and later delving deeply into poetry as a means of social activism.
We'll discuss Jillian's notable collaborations in the hip-hop arena, including her work on Jae Skeese's track "Red Koolaid" from his album "Abolished Uncertainties" and her feature in Cashisgreen's music. These collaborations highlight her unique blend of poetry with music, bringing a powerful voice to the forefront of the Eastside culture and art scene.
Delving into topics like growing up in segregated Buffalo, Jillian shares her experiences and the importance of keeping Buffalo's unique culture a secret yet celebrated. We'll explore how her upbringing in a predominantly Black community shaped her perspectives and influenced her poetry.
Jillian will talk about her responsibility as a poet and activist, from being called to write a poem about the tragic shooting at Tops, to reflecting on the underground railroad history in Buffalo and Niagara Falls. Her experiences in Baltimore and her insights into the parallels between living in conflict zones like Israel/Palestine and poor areas in the US offer a compelling comparison.
We also touch on serious social issues like the stereotype of the "angry black woman," the deliberate placement of guns and drugs in Black communities, and the lack of support for veterans' mental health. Jillian's insights into the struggles of Vietnam era and post 9/11 veterans, as well as local issues like the Kia Boyz car thefts in Buffalo, highlight her deep engagement with a range of societal challenges.
