Banshee uses poetry to fight human rights violations

WHILE other youth have resorted to finding solace in drugs because of the challenges they are facing in life, fearless spoken word artist Tatiana “Banshee” Kondo is using her talent to inspire change and hope to fellow youths.

The 22-year-old poet in most of her live poetry performances always boldly addresses the challenges stifling opportunities for the youth and ordinary people while speaking against human rights violations.

In an interview with NewsDay Life & Style, Banshee said her wish was for people to realise the power of art and motivate the youth to fight forces that negate their progress.
