We (Too) Are Philly was a summer poetry festival organized by the 2018-2019 Poet Laureate of Philadelphia, Raquel Salas Rivera, and poets Ashley Davis, Kirwyn Sutherland, and Raena Shirali. It was inspired by Langston Hughes’ poem “I, Too” and featured a line-up of poets of color who had a strong commitment to fighting white supremacy and collaborating with local communities to create shared creative spaces. Poets came from all over, but each featured poet was from Philadelphia.
