Ep. 2: Chin-Yer

In Episode 2 of Classy, Gayle talks to poet, singer, artist, teacher and Baltimore Goddess Chin-Yer Wright. In this conversation, Chin-Yer dives deep into what it means to be a teacher in the Baltimore Public School system, her love for the city, her psychic powers and how she faced cancer one day at a time. She talks about loss, addiction, the hills and valleys of grief, and striking the balancing between her “umbrella of fine” and keeping her tears on the outside. “There’s nothing scarier than being a poet.” Chin-Yer says. “You know you’re doing it right when you’re slightly uncomfortable. If I can move myself when I’m writing, I feel ok.” --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/classypodcast/support
