In 2025, Kweku Abimbola was named an Academy of American Poets Laureate Fellow. Abimbola will hold a series of four intergenerational, generative writing workshops led by Black and Indigenous writers and artists. In addition to bringing diverse groups of poets together, these workshops will highlight Indigenous conceptions of environmental sustainability and ecopoetics, while also foregrounding the often-forgotten history of Black El Segundo. The workshops will culminate in an anthology that features work from El Segundo students and residents that celebrates the natural beauty of the city. Proceeds from the anthology will be donated to restoration efforts after the Altadena and Pasadena fires.
