S.W.A.G - Spoken Word Affecting Generations

       I hate performing, so I've had to learn to share. Spoken Word Affecting Generations, a monthly open mic held at Brooklyn's Simplicity Wine Bar Café, took place May 14th, and that is where I finally learned what I'm supposed to do.  Surrounded by a plethora of talented, passionate artists, I was able to both share, and receive beautiful lessons.  I know this is something you learn in pre-school, but I really learned about sharing at this open mic & I am eternally grateful.

Potion Collective Memorial Day Showcase

        On Memorial Day, The Potion Collective will showcase an impressive line up at Brooklyn Fire Proof East, with myself as the featured artist. :) The holiday celebration features an all-day cookout beginning at 1:30pm. At 7:30, the mic opens up to whichever creative souls are called. ADMISSION IS FREE. At about 10pm, I've compiled a selection of my works to share with you all. I can't even begin to explain how excited I am, but if you have the time to attend, I'm sure to impress you. That, I guarantee.

Gabby Douglas #Support - "Ponytail" Poem

 

This sure is how you respond. It's lovely to see strong Black youth fighting for right. 

Much love.

BAM - Poetry 2012: Grand Slam!

BAM doesn't allow photos or video while the show is taking place,

 (so I snuck one in)  but continue reading to see some youtube videos of the night's performers. 

I tried to find the pieces they performed. Enjoy!

xoxo,

Ella.
