As a seasoned spoken-word artist and published poet, I engage diverse audiences through poetic performance, across a broad expanse of topics. Working from my own lived experience, critical observation, and through collaborative ideation, I weave stories, concepts, challenges, and victories into dynamic, participatory experience that educate, entertain, and enrich listeners. Additionally, I work with organizations and businesses through commissioned poetic work to relate capture events and experiences, then reframe them through a poetic lens.
