Our Beginnings

Speaking Down Barriers started as a community collaboration between a group of Black spoken word artists and poets and a predominately white church in Spartanburg South Carolina. We welcome you to listen to the NPR interview below with our Founder, Marlanda Dekine and collaborator Scott Neely to hear more about our beginnings.
