Oceania
Oceania is a poet, host, and educator originally from Detroit. As a multiethnic and multicultural woman, she navigates being Mexican, Syrian, and White, through a lens of deep reflection and with the desire to learn. Most importantly, Oceania believes in anti-racism, equity, empathy, and unity, as not just words, but everyday reminders for how to behave toward and deconstruct barriers against others.
Graduating from U of M- Ann Arbor as a first-generation student with both a BA and MA in Education and Leadership has earned Oceania the privilege to work toward system improvement within her own community. Oceania has performed on stages throughout the Midwest, published a book of poems, and looks forward to continuing her work as a poet, facilitator, and educator to bring authenticity to the mic.
