Dear Supporter

I’m excited to share an inspiring initiative — Artists 2 Nigeria, a cultural exchange journey uniting poets and visual artists from Newark, New Jersey, and Connecticut with creatives in Lagos, Nigeria.

This fall, our team will travel to Nigeria to take part in the Poets in Nigeria 10-Year Anniversary Celebration, where we’ll perform, collaborate, and lead poetry and art workshops with students and emerging artists. The experience will strengthen cross-cultural connections and showcase the talent and spirit of our creative communities on an international stage.

We’re raising funds to help offset travel, lodging, and program expenses so that our artists can focus fully on creating, teaching, and sharing their work abroad. Our goal is $10,000, and every contribution brings us closer to making this exchange possible.

How You Can Help:

Donate: https://givebutter.com/artists2nigeria or via Zelle at cryoutnj@gmail.com

Spread the Word: Share our mission with others who believe in the power of art, poetry, and education to unite communities.

Your support will help us represent Newark and the Tri-State creative scene with excellence — amplifying voices that inspire, uplift, and connect across borders.

Thank you for your generosity and belief in the transformative power of art.

With gratitude,

Mayowa “GODSENT” Okubanjo
