I finally have the opportunity to sit down and write about how beautiful my experience was at Wonder of Women Presents "Resurrection Wonder". I was present at the first event and remember being so awe-struck at the women who took the stage to share their stories, as well as the audience that received them with acknowledgment and love. When Mrs. V invited me to share a poem at this year's event, I agreed immediately(even though I'm not a fan of writing custom pieces lol)! The morning of the event, I was feeling drained and didn't know how I was gonna bring energy to that stage. It was raining, I was lugging my merch around on the bus to save money, then when I got a Lyft the driver drove AWAY
AS I WAS WALKING!- Just kiddin'. As I was perusing the nets looking for an action shot of me performing some poetry, I came across some photos from the 2017 CoCA Marathon & Auction. Take a quick trip down memory lane with me below:
I was sifting through my work the other day and came across one of my favorite poems from the Forward project I participated in last year. The poem was inspired by a postcard of a beautiful mountain-side with a road that had been paved along it. The picture made me think about the ways we, as humans, treat our environment. I remember learning that it is easier for a person to mistreat someone once they have disassociated themselves... I guess the same could be said of things and places. For ease, They slip blade from Derma to osteo Osteo to marrow. Forced flaws In your beautiful face To make you easier To navigate.
