Hey everyone!
Just a little update, my artist and I have finished the additions for the book. YAY! I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. Hopefully the book will be finished and on shelves before my birthday! Keep looking out for it and my book signings.

hey everyone!
I have been on a little hiatus. I have been thinking of ways to help out Haiti and more recently Chile recover from the earthquakes. So far I have donated clothes and money to the Haiti cause. I was thinking of doing a set in Spanish and raising money for our Chileans. What do [...]

I noticed I didn’t post what I did this month in honor of Black History Month aka Famous February. So… I performed at Columbia’s Black Student Network’s Black History Gala celebrating Kujichagulia (self determination, a principle of Kwanzaa). Soon you will be able to see the performance in my spoken word section. Check back later [...]

Wow! why do all these great poetry spots have to be sooooo small. I guess the intimacy creates a better connection with the poet and a better understanding of the messages.
Anyway, when I got to Bowery I was able to participate in a workshop with Will Evans! Love him.. I get to his work in [...]

What can I say! Its the Nuyorican. That should explain it all.
As the teens started spitting , I felt chills up my spine. I led many oohs and ahhs as they perfectly crafted their stanzas. They all left a piece of them on the stage. You could see it in their faces, movements and gazes. [...]

I am back from another night at Abigail’s. This time the crowd was smaller and as a result I shortened my set from 6 to 3 poems. I got to debut another poem from MJTP called “Hiding”. I read a new poem, whose ink is still not dry, which is tentatively entitled “The Seed”. I [...]

I changed my set a few times to flow with the vibe of the night. I decided to perform two poems from My Journey through poetry — Broken Angel– , the full poem excerpted in MJTP , “I am you” , and one from upcoming manuscripts, azucar. I got great response from the other performers about them so I am definitely gonna continue shopping around the mic scene and go forward with the book release.

thanks Brooklyn for the love! it’s nice to know you are welcomed back home.

To see pictures go to the spoken word section.

Hola everyone!
Ok so I said I would come up with my time slot for Abigail’s in Brooklyn… well the open mic starts at 8p. I am trying to get on between 8 and 9; there is no sign up prior to the event. If you would like to come out and support, I will be [...]

Hey everyone….
I found an open mic spot! I may start performing at Abigail’s (Classon Ave, Brooklyn) as soon as this wednesday. I may read from my book and perform some old stuff. I’ll fill you in on my time slot tomorrow!
Just wanted to drop in and give you a quick update!

hey everyone,
Hola mi gente! Sorry I haven’t posted since Aug. I just finished a semester at Columbia University. During my time of Psychological enlightening through my counseling and multiculturally filled classes, I haven’t had time to perform. I hope the next year and a half will continue to be inspiring and help me with my [...]
