Jamila Woods, born 1989. 
“Her work focuses on themes of Black ancestry, Black feminism, and Black identity, with recurring emphases on self-love and the City of Chicago.”
Woods maintains two separate websites, one for poetry and one for music, but it’s clear that in her practice, the two arts become one. Many of the poetry tracks have musical backing, and her manner of recitation is likewise musicalized.

ENGLISH: You never know the stories that people carry, and sometimes, those stories are best shared in song. “Si Yo Fuera Una Canción” is a podcast about individuals, their stories and their lives as people connected with Santa Ana, CA. Through interviews offered in both Spanish and English, they talk about the musics that ground them and inspire them. In this way we get a new perspective on the socioeconomic, ethnic, and cultural tapestry that makes Santa Ana such a special place--and at the same time, a very typical place in the United States of America. In getting to know these ordinary people, we realize that we are, all of us, extraordinary. ESPAÑOL: Nunca sabes las historias que puede llevar la gente, pero a veces estas historias se comparten mejor a través del canto. 'Si yo fuera una canción' es un podcast que se trata de individuos, sus historias, y sus vidas como personas conectadas con Santa Ana, CA. A través de entrevistas ofrecidas igual en español y en inglés, hablan en sus propias voces de las músicas que les arraigan y les inspiran; así logramos una perspectiva nueva sobre el tápiz socioeconómico, étnico y cultural que hace de Santa Ana un lugar muy especial--y a la vez, un lugar muy típico de los Estados Unidos de América. Al llegar a conocer esta gente ordinaria, nos damos cuenta del hecho de que somos todos fuera de lo ordinario.
