DID YOU MISS THE 1ST SHOW?!?!?! Whether you were there for it or catching up here, thank you so much for being apart of my journey. Ya girl had no idea that I’d be going to radio but here we are. Here is where we can continue the conversation. Ask questions, provide feedback, network and connect.
Let’s Recap!
So, on Episode 1, I left my screen door open a little bit to help you get to know me and to also say thank you to who has been apart of my journey thus far.
I was born and raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin (yes there are black people there). My family is my everything! You’ll learn more about them as you get to know me. In case you know somebody that might know somebody; I went to Keefe Ave, Samuel Morse Middle, Rufus King, and Milwaukee School of Entrepreneurship. I grew up dancing with Deva Houston and Ko-Thi Dance Company, I was involved in community theatre, singing and ushering in church, modeling in department store fashion shows. My parents put me in summer programs to expose me to different occupations and career paths. I was always doing something (not much has changed now) but that opened my eyes to the possibilities.
On the show, we talked about poetry and how I got my start with Haiku’s in school. In elementary school, the first poem I learned was ‘Hey Black Child” by Useni Eugene Perkins. Eventually I got the chance to hear poetry at The Mecca, Still Waters Collective on the mic… I listened to Jessica Care Moore on Apollo and was mesmerized. I sat and listened to Sonia Sanchez while at Bennett College. After putting it down for a while, Lyrics and Love brought my joy of poetry back to the forefront.
Share your Haiku in the comments.
