Poet and Spoken Word Artist Who Helps Communities See and Feel Seen
I write responsive, in-the-moment pieces that process a shared event whether that is a conference, a sermon, or an act of injustice experienced across a community.
While I considered myself a writer and poet from a young age, it was a documentary that I watched in college that sparked a new form of expression in me — a spoken word piece based in rhyming rhythms, meant to be heard instead of just read. It was the beginning of creating reflective, spoken-word poetry that helped me process the world we’re in.
I’d love to work with you to offer a unique approach for your audience to reflect, connect, and be stirred to action!
