About the Bull City Slam Team
The Jambalaya Soul Slam was started in 2002 by Dasan Ahanu and Ray Gorham. It moved to the Hayti Heritage Center in Durham in 2005 and has been supported by the St. Joseph's Historic Foundation ever since.
The slam produces the Bull City Slam Team (BCST). The BCST has represented the Triangle in regional and national competition for 5 years now.
In the summer of 2009, the foundation helped sponsor the Southern Fried Southeastern Regional Poetry Slam. Slammaster Janella Sellers and slammaster/coach Dasan Ahanu were happy to coordinate bringing the regional competition to Durham.
The Bull City Slam Team finished second to Slam Charlotte in the competition.
BCST members participate in creative writing and performance programming at the Hayti Heritage Center throughout the year.
As representatives of the foundation, the BCST helps facilitate workshops, host cultural arts events, and coordinate community programs with local partners.
One of the goals of both the slam and the team is to not only be a representative of the community but also an active participant in the community.
