If you don't learn to write your own story, someone else will write it for you

I am an 18 year old college student who who has always had a strong love for both music and poetry. I am a singer as well as a spoken word poet. I currently reside in New York City more specifically in Brooklyn. I have performed some of my poetry at places such as The Nuyorican Poets Cafe and The Inspired Word presented by Mike Geffner. I am so blessed to have also been able to perform on The World Famous Apollo Theater Stage as a finalist for Urban Words NYC Teen Poetry Slam. I love the art of performing as well as expressing myself through written word. I never could have imagined years ago that I would be able to do exactly what I love and share it with so many people and now that I know it is possible I never want to stop.
