A reading of student work by Kebbeh Jallah and Winnie Godi. 

Writers Biographies:

Kebbeh Jallah is currently attending North Hennepin and majors in Creative writing. She's in the process of being done with her program and will graduate in May. She's hoping once she's done with school, she can start her writing journey in non-fiction. Although for the past few semesters she's been taking fiction classes to expand her version for the future. Her main goal is to create awareness within her pieces to help those who need it. 

Winnie Godi was born in Kampala, Uganda and raised in Rochester, MN. She earned her Bachelor of Arts from Augsburg University in International Relations and Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies with a minor in Peace and Global Studies. She has worked in education for the last seven years in many roles including as an Equity Specialist in Rochester, an African History and Geography Teaching Fellow in Gaborone, Botswana, and a Kindergarten Teacher in Nairobi Kenya. She is currently completing an English Teaching Assistantship with The Fulbright Program in Kigali, Rwanda, where she teaches English comprehension through drama at Apacope School and the U.S. Embassy Rwanda American Center. Winnie is also a student at Rochester Community and Technical College, Anoka-Ramsey, and North-Hennepin community colleges where she is taking classes to expand her knowledge and skills in the fine arts. Her love and passion for acting and storytelling have led her to creative writing. Winnie writes short and flash-fiction stories, poems, essays, song lyrics, and plays. In her free time, she enjoys traveling, art events, cooking, and reading.
