He was also showcased at the National Society of Black Engineers Conference as well as the Pantene Pro-V Total You Tour (Dallas) which featured such guests as Nikki Giovanni, MC Lyte, Yolanda Adams and a host of other celebrities. Performing with an indefinable style and intensity, Twain’s passion is evident in every spoken word. He is an advocate of truth, inspiring his audience while shedding light on subjects that society tends to overlook or ignore. Embracing both lyrical and experimental forms he presents his audience with snapshots of life.
