by

This is the 2nd in a series of posts reflecting on the 2014 National Association of Social Workers conference in Washington, DC, in July 2014.

Note: As of August 15, 2014, this article has been updated to include a YouTube video of Kane Smego's presentation at the 2014 NASW conference.

Nationally recognized spoken word poet Kane Smego performed at the opening session of the 2014 National Association of Social Workers conference. This YouTube video, although taped at another event, is an example of one of the poems he performed at the conference. It is about paying allegiance to the X chromosome.

He is also Artistic Director of Sacrificial Poets, whose "dynamic workshops explore the power of stories and voice as tools for self-transformation, non-violent resistance, and community engagement."
