Well hello my lovely peoples! It has been a minute, sheesh! First and foremost I thank the Most High for everything that has taken place in my spoken word career thus far, and I know this is only the beginning. I will catch all of you up to speed in the most possible order that I can remember. LOL.
I had my first feature for a showcase organization called RawArtist. It's a collaborative entertainment organization created for ANY creative soul that wants to share their talent with the world. They help bring out the shy and nervous to become more proud of their craft. So as a relatively new spoken word artist I didn't want to pass such opportunity up. There are so many pics, videos, new fans, and even bigger venues that are available to me all from this show. The event was at Bartini's downtown July 17th during the Black Expo. A wise man once told me, "your front rowers will never be who you expect, so you should always represent yourself as the best performance people will ever see." With that, I had a great time. My RawArtist pg is: rawartists.org/paralectra. Below are a few pics from the night.
Erotic Slam: Team Dayton vs Indy Squad.
I mean seriously, I commend every prolific writer that takes the time to write such erotic poetry without making it sound extra creepy and triflin'. And cliche`. I'm just being real.
I honestly didn't intend on being on the Indy team for this slam. I just figured there was going to be an open mic (as always) and share my LITTLE piece of erotic I wrote from a challenge given back in February. Well. Word got out, and was somehow placed on the squad.
I personally blame Ms Gabby.
Nonetheless, the challenge was accepted and I had fun. The sexy was definitely created and I'm anticipating those pics!!
Oh as a footnote, Team Indy won. But shout out to the opposing team because on some real shit, THEY CAME WITH THAT HEAT...
putting my name in a rhyme.
Which was mega sexy.
OK.
Thanks to an awesome BGS sister, I am a contributing writer for the Indianapolis Recorder Newspaper!! Here's the link: ParaThoughts !! Share with all of your friends.
Hmm. What else?
OK. That's right.
A wonderful role model of mine has inquired about me joining her Incite2Insight Magazine for the city of Indianapolis. Not just a contributing writer, a STAFFED writer WITH a MF column!
Marinate on that.
If I get matched with an organization and begin working with the people, I will be a Public Allie. sp? Lol. There's so many awesome people in the world and I'm glad to meet them all and not just through the arts.
The title of my ep is called Guitar in the Hood. It was initially entitled the "Ionic Disposition of a Poetic Writer," and the moment I was banking on that long and perhaps exhaustive title, the words of a wise man whispered in my ear reminding me to never stop at your first idea. THANK YOU.
With that, yes. I have a guitar named Moses. Had him for two years and we are working absolutely amazing together.
Man. I'm so grateful for everything. In the words of my Popz, my change is coming. When your steps are ordered under the name of the Most High, who can steer you wrong? All glory goes to God. After three years of figuring out who, what, when, where, and how I want to do things my life is looking up. I'm maturing. I'm finally growing into the woman I could only imagine to become and it only gets better.
Earlier this year I blogged about 2013 being the year of the snake. I'm considered an earth snake according to my astrological make up. I believe this to be true because since February I have beholding everything that I thought were intangible. I have indeed been knocking down barriers and triumphing through the strong holds that tried to keep me smothered.
I'm alive
And I'm so in love.
And I am SHE
