About Me

Fly funky poet, mother, educator, emcee, fundraiser, promoter/producer. Avid reader who writes to breath. Most at home in the company of good energy. Surpasses all doubt being secure in self. Loves to laugh and enjoys a good time. Hardworking, professional, daydreamer, pure spirit, strong woman. A performance poet/spoken word artist, writer and visionary. As an emcee Wisdom crafts shows to stimulate all the senses. She’s been supported by a rich talent pool of local poets, singers, and musicians. She is currently building a bridge between Alaska and the lower 48 in an effort to broaden her own performance experience while heightening the entertainment experience for Alaskan poetry audiences with a steady flow of the hottest spoken word artists from across the country.
