I am a freelance writer who found my voice while walking repeated penitentiary terms in California and Arizona. I have had poems, essays, and a short story published, and I'm currently working on a book of poetry which I plan to include a cd of spoken word inside of.

Background
Information
|
|
My major influences were the members of the Harlem Renaissance. I look to their example, the way they told the stories of their generation, and I seek to do the same for mine. Additionally, I am a hip-hop baby, fed by rap's nipple, I grew strong. From the Last Poets and Gil Scott to Grand Master Flash and the Furious Five, my soul overflows with the wizened words of street griots.
