Sincere

You can expect a great energy, polished performance, and professionalism both on and off stage.

I am originally from the small town of Moncks Corner, SC, which is right outside of Charleston, SC. My poetic home is not the Lowcountry though, but instead Upstate South Carolina. I read my first poem at an open mic in 2001 in Greenville, SC, while attending Furman University. Over the years, I have hosted, organized, and assisted in poetry events and open mics across South Carolina, the metro Atlanta area, and now and becoming involved in the Raleigh/Durham area. In December of 2010, I opened for Avant and J.Holiday at an event in Duncan, SC, and haven't looked back since. In addition to my behind the scenes work, I now find myself performing and hosting at open mics, special events, and in local schools. As one of the elder members of the Upstate Poets of South Carolina, I mentor the newer poets and provide support and advice to anyone in need. Additionally, I began slamming in 2011. I was a member of Upstate slam team Say What?!? coached by Moody Black. I have since coached my own team Tell It Like It Is, based in Greenville, SC, in 2012, and New Danger for the past two years. In 2011, I wrote her first commissioned poem for E.W.A.T.E. ((link hidden)), a womens empowerment group based out of Greenwood, SC. I am currently working on a book, in the process of co-founding an organization designed to support women poets in various ways, and developing a program to educate school children on creative expression, all while growing my real estate business. I write from the heart, speak honestly about all things, and live up to my namesake. My truth is meant to help people hear, grow, and change but at the end of the day, my motto sums up my poetry, what it means, how is given and meant to be received- in love. Beginning to end, all day, every day, I say it and mean it, "Love is love."

I am flexible and can perform in a variety of settings. Larger venues or spaces may require a microphone.
