Salome Agbaroji and Diane Luby Lane on Spectrum News

August 23, 2023

Last night on Spectrum News, they showcased a conversation with former Get Lit Player and current United States National Youth Poet Laureate, Salome Agbaroji. In the interview, they discussed the inspiration behind her powerful poetry and her experience as the new Youth Poet Laureate Get Lit Founder and CEO, Diane Luby Lane, also appeared and discussed the work and revolutionary model of Get Lit’s programming, which Salome attributes much of her success to. 

“What I use poetry for now is more of a specific agenda of uplifting communities, but when I first fell in love with words it was purely for fun. That’s what I encourage other people to find. Using words can not only be empowering, but an enjoyable experience.” - Salome
