OurStage

I could attempt to impress you with my resume of accomplishments, but since I'm writing this myself, I would rather take up this space by telling you about why I'm here on Ourstage. That's more important.

I love what I do. Writing is not simply a form of release or artistic display of my abilities. It's something more sacred than that. Whether you listen to me discuss topics of love and sensuality, political views, societal observations or perspectives based on my own faith and religious views, there is one thing you will always notice. I have a sincere love and passion for what I do. I thank God for allowing me to share with you.

I am here on Ourstage.com to help gain more recognition within the music industry for spoken word artists. I've been at this for a long time. I started writing when I was just a babe and I began pursuing writing on a semi-professional basis one day when I realized how much joy I find when the words are released from my spirit. I know that I am not the only artist who feels this way. Maybe by participating here on Ourstage.com, I will play my part in not only opening doors for myself, but for other artists who remain true and respectful to their gifts. Talent can be developed, but gifts are inherent.

If you are an artist on Ourstage, I may stop by and share a few words of recognition and encouragement with you. I do that irrespective of how well known or unknown you may be. I do that because I have a keen ear for the kind of music, lyrics, singing, and messages that our communities need to hear.

As you listen to my work during competitions, please judge honestly and fairly. There are many artists here who have amazing abilities. Let's be sure to promote the kind of Spoken Word that we would love to hear played on the air waves.

Peace & Blessings,
