Who is someone you admire who does work that you feel really benefits your “local” community, and what kind of work is it that they do?
Ralph Hamilton. Ralph has served as the Editor-in-Chief at RHINO Poetry Magazine that publishes domestic and international pieces as well as hosts local events and workshops around Chicago. I truly admire his unconditioned love toward the people and their art. He is definitely one of my role models.
