Our paths aren’t always smooth and straight to our destination. My personal path has had a lot of twists and turns. However each obstacle was needed .

I am a professional spoken word artist. I’ve had the opportunities and pleasures to preform around the country. Being not just the President but a member of Poetic City’s poetry department also . Has opened up a sizable amount of doors . That have help to expand my brand and talents. I’m most proud of , being able to show my children. Even when dreams are put on hold . Dreams do not have to die . What sets me apart from others is my work ethics. Spoken Word isn’t just a “little hobby” , to me . It’s a passion and a gift so I treated it as such.
