Growing up, I always marveled at my mother’s public speaking skills. She’d command everyone’s attention with humor, charm, intelligence, confidence, and candor. She’s still the bravest and most outspoken person I know. She’s still my hero, but one day I’m going to challenge her for the title. And when I do, the throne is mine!

In addition appearances as a featured poet/guest speaker at various events, I’ve written spoken word performances for the following organizations: Center for Planning Excellence, 100 Black Men, Of Moving Colors, Planned Parenthood, and Baton Rouge Area Foundation.
