Yvette Angelique is a poet and storytelling facilitator. She runs Narratives for Change, an art, culture, and social change practice. Studying creative writing at the University of Denver and transformative language arts for personal and social change at Goddard College, Yvette completed her graduate work to produce poetry and prose that speak to the context and complexity of Black women’s lives. She works with women and girls to use storytelling for healing, literary art-making, consciousness-raising, and advocacy. Yvette balances her practice between writing, teaching, and coaching leaders committed to a healthy and just society. 

Yvette Angelique will be the Featured Poet at the JaxbyJax Literary Arts Festival VIII on Saturday, October 16, 2021 at the Jessie Ball DuPont Center in Downtown Jacksonville. She will also present a workshop on advocacy writing entitled “Writing for Civic Engagement and Social Justice.”
