For the past decade I have been writing poetry and performing spoken word across several states. I’ve performed as far up north as Virginia and as far west as Louisiana and still have the desire to reach many more places. Poetry has earned me scholarships, helped through loss and heartbreak and helped me celebrate my victories in life. I am studying Psychology and use my desire to want to understand people and how they operate to help grow in connecting with them. My hope is that by putting these words out here we will be able to connect and while I grow we can grow together.
