- What You Need to Know About Me:
- I am a member of Girls and Boys with Hearts, a poetry group founded and directed by Ladi Di (the Love Poet). I am a first place prize winner of the 2005 Washington DC Poetry Fest Slam Championship, I have performed poetry on various stages in the DC metropolitan area including the Pantene Totally You Tour at the Washington Convention Center, the DC Poetry Festival at the Carter Baron and the Langston Room at the Busboys and Poets Café. I also performed at the HBO Theater in New York City. I had a cameo appearance in the Larry Neal Award winning dramatic play “Prison Poetry” by “Papi” Kymone Freeman at the Lincoln Theater. I am active in the community. I performed at community rallies and festivals, including the October 2006 rally to reopen the Anacostia Public Library, the Black History Poetry Festival at Iverson Mall, in Hillcrest Heights, MD and the Black LUV Festival in Washington D.C. My poetry has been published in the “Beltway Poetry Quarterly”, “ECHOES: Voices from Prince George's County Poets” and the just released “Family Pictures: Poems and Photographs Celebrating Our Loved Ones”, which features poetry from such greats as Nikki Giovanni, E. Ethelbert Miller and Tony Medina. I was also a featured poet on the 2KNation radio program (WPFW 89.3FM) in Washington DC.
My First Book
(from my first book "I Ain't Ascared of Nutin'... The Evolution of Me")
I saw what you did…
I saw you create jealousy, envy and greed.
I saw you destroy one of the world’s oldest civilizations.
I saw you implant that jealousy, envy and greed into the hearts of the innocent.
I saw what you did…
I saw you turn brother against brother, sister against sister and friend against friend.
I saw what you did…
I saw you break their hearts.
I saw you tell jealousy and envy to kill half of them and greed to kill the rest.
I saw them die…
I saw their blood on the sidewalks and the streets.
How could you do such an evil thing?
Sometimes I don’t believe… I saw what you did.
But I did… I saw you.
Yeah…
I saw what you did…
And it haunts me forever.
