Georgia Authors Association Award-winning poet, spoken word artist and singer Theresa Wilson, also known as “Theresa Tha SONGBIRD,” performs in the E.B. Mell Auditorium on Nov. 11. Wilson has written two children’s books as well as a number of poems and performances, some of which she gave for the CCHS students who attended the visit. “Her presence was commanding, like you couldn’t look away. You didn’t want to miss a single word that she said. I felt like I couldn’t get enough of her. I was in awe of what she was able to do with just herself and a microphone,” CCHS Media Specialist Angela Pendley said. “I just felt like I left (the performance) feeling filled up. And I think the kids in the audience left there feeling like their cups were full.” Photos by Grady Dunston
