A Spoken Word Poet

I first took the mic at the Jahava House in Oakland, California the summer of 2001.

The first poem I ever read in public was âSingle Motherâ, which is now my âsignature pieceâ. I can still hear the applause from that night six years ago.

It was on from that day, I became a regular at the Jahava House, and many of the San Francisco Bay Area poetry venues, and eventually becoming one-third of a hosting trio of âThe Poetic Grooveââ, a Friday night poetry venue.

My poetic inspiration comes from the world around me, things I see and feel. And some of my poetry is just made up from my imagination.

I call my style of poetry âfree verseâ and most of my pieces are âmini short storiesâ.

âThe Emerging Butterflyâ has been a long awaited dream, a labor of love, and a bit of a legacy for those that I love.
