She draws inspiration from the history and folklore found throughout the Black diaspora, often adopting the West African philosophy of Sankofa, which means to “go back and get it”. In other words, learn from the past to understand the present and better prepare for the future. Over the years, TK has been a witness to and has assisted in the creation and operations of several local arts programs and cultural events in Columbia, including the OneMic Poetry Collective, Unbound Book Festival, Louder than a Bomb (Mid-MO chapter) and Soul Sessions COMO. As a host and audio producer for KBIA, you’re likely to catch TK on-air during the day with a Dilla beat behind her, or moderating a panel on art and local history. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6939bdfbe7e00c6764299d5e/1772824040196-5UK5FFJ664F20SS5Z06C/1.png Retreats - Winter Retreat 2026 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6939bdfbe7e00c6764299d5e/1772824040448-1NCG56QAE9IVDALZGN3Q/3.png Retreats - Winter Retreat 2026 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6939bdfbe7e00c6764299d5e/1772824046962-5F9CX2TQUZ97LZ17MUKM/4.png Retreats - Winter Retreat 2026 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6939bdfbe7e00c6764299d5e/1772824043566-4Q5JEXCOBTRFTDLAQFDI/5.png Retreats - Winter Retreat 2026 https://www.midwestwomenwhowrite.org/retreats/event-three-ks7zl monthly 0.5 2026-03-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6939bdfbe7e00c6764299d5e/5748dd2a-8c2c-4aa6-9ff7-c4ffff544079/4.png Retreats - Autumn Retreat 2025 - More about our speaker: Janet Lewis Saidi We are so glad to welcome writer-producer Janet Lewis Saidi (AKA Plain Jane), author of the forthcoming book Pocket Portraits: Jane Austen, out September 30 from Simon & Schuster.

If you’re here on this platform, and you’re also into Jane Austen, you may have already heard of Janet’s Substack newsletter and podcast The Austen Connection (yep, that’s the obsession turned newsletter turned book!)
