Overview

My poetry has one purpose to compel hearts, renew minds and touch souls. I believe that poetry and spoken word is intended to appeal to the emotions, to evoke feelings rather than propositional thinking, and to stimulate a response that goes beyond simply understanding facts. My art form is heavily rooted in the principles of expressive therapy that using poetry as means of expressing and exploring thoughts, feelings and behavior in order to bring about therapeutic change. I display a unique style of performing my poetry and I’m widely known for my inspirational parables and mottos. My poetry uses the art of storytelling, drama, songs and the simplest of language for all ages to appreciate.

SHAKINA LEWIS - KINA (THE PROPHETIC POET)
Kina (The Prophetic Poet) " available for all ages, for all occasions”

Walk, Talk, Live Success -- I'm better than blessed because I am blessed by the best" said, Shakina Lewis. She has mastered the delivery of strong messages to young audiences, as demonstrated by 8 years experience in traveling as a Speaker and Spoken Word Artist to different churches, schools, detention center, and organizations, conferences and various youth and young adult’s events. For her dedicated work with children and adolescents, she has been awarded many certificates of appreciation from various groups. Kina displays a unique style of reciting her poetry and is widely known for her inspirational parables and mottos. You won't find her confined to a microphone, but instead lovingly interacting with her audiences. Kina is fueled by a burning passion to teach young people to seek their purpose in God, often reminding her audiences "To give God your first fruits, your youth, God don't need your leftovers...serve God while you have a chance”. Kina displays her boldness and radical nature for God in many artistic ways, whether it is poetry, acting, dancing, songwriting, speaking, or just serving as a vessel of God to help people improve their overall health and promote the well being of the Christian community. Those who have experienced her performances know they can never be sure what she may say or do when she ministers.

She attended Bible College at the Center for Urban Theological Studies (CUTS), for her Bachelor Degree in Human Services. During her five year as a member, servant and Minister of Eagle’s Nest Christian Fellowship, Shakina is also a graduate of Eagle’s Nest Prophetic College, where she learned how to minister prophetically; she also served as the Youth Leader. She currently works at Horizon House as an Employment Specialist & Case Manager, where she teaches life skills to high risk young adults and inculcate poetry workshops on how poetry and spoken word can be use as therapeutic tool to aid individuals with mental health and disabilities. She had learned “that your gift will take you but your character is what keeps you”. She performed in the hit play by One-Touch Ministry “Prayers of the Righteous Availeth much”. Her single “First Love” was in rotation on Gospel Highway 11 and WDAS AM, being the first spoken word artist ever aired on a local gospel radio station. Shakina is currently working on her album, which will prayerfully be released nationally. She also was the first spoken word artist to perform on Unity Day gospel stage in 25 years.

Today, Shakina is busy training, teaching and raising up other poets/spoken word artist to identify and understand prophetic poetry. Shakina is also the Founder of (POW) Power of Words Spoken Word Competition, where she is one of the first who is pioneering a major platform for Christian Spoken Word Artists. CEO of (K-Modulation, LLC “where words come alive”) started (K-Modulation) in (March 2009).
