Sickle Cell I was asked to be a part of this great foundation, by writing and performing this spoken word piece. I have been around many people who suffer from this disease. And when those people went into a crisis it was really scary. The main problem is that there is nothing you can but…
Ready or not Ready or not is about death and how people tend to not want to die. And the fear of not dying tends to keep people awake and tends to push people into this mindstate of wanting more out of life. More than what might be destined for them or promised to them.…
Toxic Relationship Love can be extremely complicated if you allow it to be. Sometimes you don’t want it to be but it just turns out that way. They say that the road to hell is paved with good intentions and I feel like the same can be said for love. The reason why love gets…
She wore a mask This collaboration was fun because it allowed me to step into a totally different space. As a writer or as a poet you have the freedom to create worlds. And luckily sometimes someone wants to collaborate and pull you out from the usual worlds you create to a new one. This…
