Womanhood Project Brings Poetry to Alum Rock Avenue

By: Gary Singh | March 26, 2025

Between 34th Street and Sunset, along Alum Rock Avenue, I experience poetry. It only takes a few banners.

As I shuffle down the sidewalk, three vertical banners in particular catch my eye, each 2.5 x 8 feet, hanging from light poles that rise from the sidewalk. Pink digital prints with rainbows. Three lines from a poem, “En Otra Vida,” by local artist Ruby Morales. Simplicity reigns free:

“In another life / we are the sisters we always wanted / and the friends we dreamed of having.”
