Rediet Giday
Youth Poetry Fellow
Rediet Giday (she/her) is a poet from Ethiopia who currently attends Newport High School. She enjoys art-centric activities, visiting museums, writing letters to her future self, and romanticizing the simple beauties that surround her. Her writing often explores themes of Black Afrofuturism and love, as she strives to use art as a vehicle for change. Additionally, she delves into individuality and sociological insights.
Rediet hopes to continue listening to diverse forms of poetry, believing it to be her way of giving voice to those who often go unheard, while extending love and empathy to all. She dreams of publishing her own book one day; however, before achieving this milestone, she wishes to immerse herself in the literary circles she cherishes for just a little longer, until she unravels the stories she truly wants to tell.
