Who Is Nubian Star?
Nubian Star is a poet, photographer, artist, lover, sister, daughter, Mom; but most importantly a child of God. She carries many different bags, and yes she IS cool like that!
Nubian first placed pencil to page in poetic form in third grade. The passion of expression has never ceased. She began performing poetry for the forensics team at Whitnall High School in Greenfield WI, where she was a three-time gold medal winning state champion through the years of '92-'94. It was in high school where Nubian Star was introduced to the writing styles of Ntozake Shange, who is still one of her biggest influences.
Nubian Star has been blessed to perform at such venues as Alverno College, Panache, Taboo, High bury, Onyx, UW-Milwaukee, Detroit, Iowa, Chicago, and Mecca Nightclub, which has become her second home.
She had written a novel and is in stride to make her passion her career. With the release of her very first poetry book "Sapphire Mama : Plucked From The Jewels Of September", and sophomore poetry book "Prayers to Mecca", she is well on her way to making that goal a reality. She is currently working on her debut CD, "A Tour Guide Thru the Constellation of Nubian Star" and her very first play "Deep End Faith". She is also enjoying her new passions, painting, sketching, and acting. Nubian was blessed with a role in the play "Unclothed..The Naked Truth" by playwright La'Ketta Caldwell.
Nubian Star is in love with being the mother of her daughter, the inspiration of her life! She also volunteers her poetic talents with youth.
