Mila Cuda x Boston Globe
"Wellesley student Mila Cuda guided the poetry that makes up ‘Summertime’"
"Mila Cuda began writing poetry at age 15 with the Los Angeles-based teen literacy program Get Lit: Words Ignite. Through open mics and workshops, her involvement in the organization grew from student to teacher. She eventually began coaching other teen poets and editing their works...Meanwhile, her experience as a Get Lit editor and teacher made her the perfect candidate for the position of poetry editor and supervisor. In the summer of 2019, she led a group of Get Lit young poets to workshop the script for “Summertime.”"
