About Me

What do you call a person who fought for their survival in their early youth? Who smiles in the darkest moments of their life, so others can smile too? Who takes on her High School Administration for not properly recognizing her heritage? Who sees no end to the knowledge she can acquire? You may call that person Chosen. Born in Far Rockaway, NY, a proud product of St. Vincent, Belize and Guatemala; Natasha L. Spence AKA ItsReaLight. ItsReaLight, (from the biblical Israelites; God's chosen people) is the Harriet Tubman of our time; freeing the enslaved mind. Powered in her appointment by God she is determined to define her purpose. Affectionately known as Light, illuminating the lives of those around her through her poetry; the catalyst to all of her creative talents. She is a vocalist, thespian, producer, beat boxer, visual artist, activist, dancer, playwright, and orator; amongst other things.She has been an educator, mentor, and counselor for the inner city children of Brooklyn and Harlem, New York for over 5 years. She has developed curriculums and workshops that are geared toward building self-esteem and the discovery of each individual’s true potential. Light is selfish, selflessly giving until rewarded by seeing those around her achieve their accomplishments. Her 6th sense for recognizing the talent around her has made her one of the greatest producers and show organizers of our time; her most prided showcase being a yearly event at Denny Moe’s Superstar Barbershop in Harlem, USA; which proceeds go directly into the shops scholarship fund.Light has won multiple slams, mostly at the world famous Nuyorican Poet’s Café. She has shared the stage and with the likes of The Last Poets, Talib Kweli, Keyshia Cole, Malcolm Jamal Warner and his band Miles Long, Lyfe Jennings, and Dead Prez just to name a few. As an activist she has worked closely with the late Sonny Carson, Abiodun Oyewole (The Last Poets), the late Professor X (X Clan), the late James Davis (NYC Councilman), and served as an active member of the UNIA. This Cipher Queen is also in The Guinness Book of World Records for her lyrical contribution to the longest cipher ever (24 hours).She quenches the thirst of her nomadic spirit, proving that Light can be anywhere. You might catch her performing at a step show in an amusement park, at a rites of passage graduation as the motivational speaker, on your local cable access channels, or even at your church. Dedicated enough to give an audience of 2 the same energy she would an audience of 2 thousand. Her limits can only be set by a divine force. Light is a powerhouse of energy and motivation, a conductor on the freedom train, the light at the end of the tunnel, a born Legend, the chosen truth.Bookings: 303.945.4313, itsrealightent@gmailProfile edited with CricketSoda's Myspace
