WHY THE NAME "ALEWA" ?


Alewa is a name of a locally made toffee similar to Brighton rock.Also resembles "gob stopper" sweets which are pepperminty and large. The base colour is white and the rainbow of colours striped around it. It leaves your tongue and lips brightly coloured and licking of lips continues for a long time as the taste lingers on and on. So P.O.E.T.S. chose this name for the movements programme....Appropriate dont you think - Tasty, multicoloured, words linger on, and you cant just get enough of it.ALEWA!-- Mariska Taylor-Darko [Member of People Of Equal Thoughts & Spirit (P.O.E.T.S)]

  1. This is a wonderful initiative and I'm proud to be a part of the group. The dream is (and this can and will be done!) to have The Alewa TV show much along the lines of Def Jam Poetry. It's time the nation got to hear P.O.E.T.S and the wonderful wordplay that comes from these gifted people. I can't wait for October 2. :DThis is a wonderful initiative and I'm proud to be a part of the group.
