The Writer’s Lounge Ep. 7: GoodJuju
She teaches us that in order to heal ourselves and others, feeling is the only way to do it. To feel it all- the good, “bad”, and indifferent. During our interview, we had touching conversations revolving around some of life’s greatest tests and lessons- romantic relationships, childhood traumatic events which has turned into fuel that has shaped us forever and how to silence that inner hater that we all seem to have. GoodJuju shows us that poetry is a medium to say what needs to be said so that wounds can be mended with care. Words, poetry, and language are bandages for tending to the afflictions of life.
Picture this: an arena full of people with the headliner Marlin Santana aka GoodJuju sprinkling her power to the masses through spoken word poetry that forces us all to face the funk. To be a world renowned poet and spoken word performer is the dream and long term goal of Marlin’s and after this interview, we can clearly see why. Her ability to captures scenes, events, and bringing sentiments of times past into the present, her purpose and gift to this world lies in tying words together to create life for all of us again. Special thank you to Marlin Santana for being on the Writer’s Lounge show and continuing to show up as her best self. Her essence is clearly seen, felt, and heard through every poetic expression, teeming with the cure for all kinds of emotional ailments. May she continue to teach us through her poetic prescriptions.
