“Your individual vote can be as invisible as one drop of water in a wave. But without your drop of water, the wave is not as powerful as it could be. You need to see your vote as a part of something much bigger than yourself. Your vote counts!”
An attorney, educator, author, playwright, cultural organizer, arts advocate, and seasoned performer, Mike Molina uses his diverse talents to adapt and rise to each creative challenge and serve his community. An internationally acclaimed poet and spoken word artist, he holds a Juris Doctorate from Yale Law School and a B.A. in English from Xavier University of Louisiana. He is also the author of four novels. In 2014, he wrote, directed and starred in a live adaption of his spoken word novel, “Mass Transit Muse”, at Atlanta’s 7 Stages Theatre. His latest novel, “Jim Huckleberry“, tells the story of Jim, Mark Twain’s fictional “runaway slave” — remaking him into a bold, self-liberated Black man.
