Poet from Los Angeles, CA. Poetry is not something I do, it’s WHO I AM! Intro- duced to this lung in 2011. I’ve been blessed to travel the country, connect and draw energy from amazing people as well as featured on TV1’s Verses and Flow, Sea- son 4. I use Poetry, first and foremost, as a vehicle for liberation. After that, it’s a tool used to build awareness and speak for those whose issues have them tongue tied. My ultimate goal is to assist in moving the art form forward until it’s held at the same level of prestige as oth- er well supported genres of art (R&B, Hip-hop, Alterna- tive, POP etc.).
