Music and Poetry

Going by Aimée Okotie as a performing artist, Aimée's vulnerability is her strength. Appearing on a diversity of stages spanning from local showcases to the Oregon Senate Chamber to the Oregon Country Fair, she uses her storytelling as a healing modality, a practice of bearing witness, a space for radical imagining, a convener of community, and a facilitator of transformative change.
