About Me

Merge your heart and mind, open your ears and listen intently as light intertwines with sound. This divine combination yields the spoken word talent of luminoUS. luminoUS is a poet and writer who spreads her light by presenting audiences with life's issues in a unique and definitive voice. Although she was born Nicole Swett, the moniker luminoUS highlights her firm belief in the motto "Lucem Accepimus, Lucem Demus;" we have received light, let us give forth light. The "us" in luminoUS is capitalized to emphasize that there is light in us all that we must pass on to others.
She has featured at various venues in the Baltimore area and has also graced stages in Brooklyn, NYC and York, PA. luminoUS has performed on stage with greats such as Linda Joy Burke, Jaki-Terry, LOVE the poet, E the poet emcee, Taalam Acey and various others. Her debut CD, "luminoUS Unleashed" released in May 2007 inspires audiences of all ages to love themselves without shame and her live performance illuminates the darkness of hate, fear and self-doubt.[LOVEMYFLASH]
