About Me

I am a dance artist (dance instructor, choreographer and perfomer) and a poet (spoken word artist and published author)My whole life is art. This is what I do.I've published two books so far(Revealed and UnSpoken Words) and I have a spoken word CD out as well. (also entitled UnSpoken Words)My first book Revealed (a book of poetry) is in book stores online now atauthorhouse.com, barnesandnobles.com, borders.com, target.com,and amazon.com. and in a bookstore in Baltimore called The Good Book (which is also online)You can also purchase copies of anything listed above by sending an email request to [email protected].

My Interests

dance, poetry, spoken word, reading, visual art and photography, basically anything involving most serious art forms

I'd like to meet:

reconnect with BSA and UARTS alumni, other dance artists, spoken word artists, poets, lovers of poetry or just cool people interested in some of the same things i'm into

Music:

neo soul,gospel and country (yes country so shut up!)

Movies:

I like to watch a lot of documentaries mostly on anything concerning African history or African-American history. But as far as the movies theaters go, the last few movies I saw I loved and could not stop laughing throughout either one of them. Dave Chappelle's Block Party was some cool shit and Something New w/ Golden Brooks from Girlfriends and the chick from Love and Basketball was madd funny too.

Television:

Girlfriends, Sex And The City repeats and certain "reality" tv shows

Books:

poetry by Laini Mataka (originally from Bmore), poetry by Nikki Giovanni, The Autobiography of Malcom X, nigger by Randall Kennedy, any poetry by serious and talented poets. I tend to buy a lot of poetry books. And I just got finished reading this mystery novel by Solomon Jones (who is also a poet and from Philadelphia) It was such a good novel called The Bridge (and everything was based in Philly)Assata (check it out if you haven't)

Heroes:

my ancestors
