Collective is a series of small books with big ideas from today’s
leading activists and artists.
Concrete Kids
is an exploration of love and loss, melody and bloodshed. Musician,
playwright, and educator Amyra León takes us on a poetic journey
through her childhood in Harlem, as she navigates the intricacies of
foster care, mourning, self-love, and resilience. In her signature
free-verse style, she invites us all to dream with abandon–and to
recognize the privilege it is to dream at all.
