I have read my poetry at open mics for about 2 years now. I have read at Cornelia Street Cafe, Nuyorican Poets Cafe, The Nightingale, Vox Pop, Art at Bay, and even held a one woman reading of my work at my sisters apartment for friends and family. I am currently preparing to self publish a collection of my poems which has been in the works for about a decade now.
I have been creating art as far as I can remember. I took a hyatus for about a decade after I gave birth to my daughter. when I returned, I came back more ambitious than ever. I have been apart of 3 group art shows in less than 2 years. i was offered to be a feature poet at Vox Pop but the show has been cancelled because of taxes. i still feel very honored that i was asked to participate as a headliner. Art and writing are my passion. They are a part of me.
Currently i am studying to get my Masters in Elementary Education. I am hoping to use my creative outlookon life to influence children and help them learn in the same way i have taught my own daughter by encouraging them to keep an open mind at all times of the endless posibilities your imagination can unfold.
You are already a gift to the world with your art and presence. The more tools you develop to help others find their way, the more meaningful your life will be and subsequently those around you as well. Good Luck.
