WHO IS L. MONIQUE? (The face behind the lips-aims to take poetry to the next level)
____________________________________________________________
_________________
The producer and host of Lip Service is a soulful and spirited individual who uses poetry like most folks do oxygen. With each breath she (and her behind the scenes partner Toii King) have exhaled some fantabulous creations. Yup, that’s a word......though Webster’s Dictionary hasn’t’ listed it yet - we’re sure Wikipedia will soon.Many folks who know of L. Monique know her through Smokin Spoken Wordz Productions. SSW Productions was the diverse NY (tri-state area) Poetry Collective which served as a vehicle to edutain mass audiences with a collection of artists and events to be reckoned with. Since L. Monique & Toii’s recent relocation to Charlotte NC, Smokin’ Spoken Wordz Production has been on hiatus with Lip Service and other ventures now in the forefront.

HOW SHE DOES HER THANG?

__________________
If L. Monique is involved, lyrical mastery is always at work. She’s opened for performers like singer Crystal Waters and The NY Kings of Comedy. L. Monique has graced the stages of such New York notable venues as Nuyorican Poets Café, and The Brooklyn Moon Café. As an independent artist, L. Monique continues to participate within the literary arena as a Performer at Public and Private events, a Slam Participant, Venue Host, Workshop Facilitator and Community Activist. She believes that as a Spoken Word Artist, it’s her job to edutain others by often being the ‘Voice of the Voiceless’ - empowering those who might otherwise be overlooked and bringing attention to issues that might otherwise go unaddressed. She continues to do this from page to stage via performances, 3 self published volumes of poetry, numerous publishing credits in local newspapers, periodicals, ezines and website and lastly but certainly not least, her CD Solstice (released late 2006).L. Monique writes in multiple genres which encompass hard hitting themes like Womyn’s Rights & Empowerment, Prisoner’s Issues, AIDS Awarness, LGBT themes and more. Her poetic style cannot easily be categorized. It is however, impassioned, inspiring and thought provoking. Which is just the way she likes it because no matter what you say after witnessing one of her performances, if you’re ‘saying’ anything at all, she’s done her job of getting you to feel. For more ‘feelings’ and to keep yourself ‘in the know’ visit this page or her Electronic Press Kits (www.SonicBids.com/lmonique) for updates on the latest happenings.CONSISTENTLY SEEKING TO MEET, LEARN FROM & NETWORK WITH: Positive people interested in utilizing and/or assisting in the marketing & promotion of a prolific Spoken Word Artist able to provide private & public readings, WordShops (for everyone from school children to maximum security inmates), full scale productions, literary projects & more... --> START WedDepot Reciprocal Link -->
