From her film, Jinn, winning the SXSW Special Jury Recognition Award for Writing to writing for acclaimed shows, Queen Sugar, the Blindspotting series, Wu-Tang: An American Saga, and Insecure.\\nBut way before all of that, Nijla attended UC Berkeley, where her experiences in June Jordan\\u2019s Poetry for the People Program left an indelible mark. She still writes poetry to this day.\\nIn late April Mu\\u2019min shared some of her work with the Bay Podcast's Maria Esquinca in celebration of National Poetry Month.\\nThis week we're sharing that episode with you."
