• Famous February

  Saturday, February 27th, 2010

  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 [...]

• NYK Poetry Slam at the Nuyorican

  Monday, January 18th, 2010

  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. [...]

• Another Night at Abigail’s

  Thursday, January 14th, 2010

  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 [...]

• Abigail’s

  Thursday, January 7th, 2010

  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.

  hey everyone,
  Hola mi gente! Sorry I haven’t posted since Aug. I just finished a semester at Columbia University.

  Saturday, August 1st, 2009

  I have been unable to begin performing at open mics and clubs because of a cold I got from one of the kids at my job. I have planned performance schedule for next week, possible 2-3 nights a week. I will see how I am feeling on Monday and keep you posted as to where [...]
