Its that time again!! Brave New Voices International Teen Poetry Slam is where I got my start and I’ve tried to be involved ever since. Moving on from being a youth champion myself into one of the youngest teaching artist around I will be with them in LA this year!!! Above is a clip Ms. Iyoka, who I had the chance to host with last year posted. Check it out.

This year I’ve been invited to be Future Corps, a group selected to help lead the youth through activities of the week. All of us chosen, were once slammers and now amazing leaders in the field. I am so excited to see over 500 fly kids get together for top of the line spoken word competition, all night ciphers, and pure genius.  These kids are full of passion and innovation so I cant wait to see what they have to say this year. I will be leading them in workshops as well as hosting their bouts so I will be blessed to hear them. Cant wait.
