Um and I have a a BA in math and a I minored in fine art with an emphasis in painting.

So the visual arts have always been there, but um the writing

only really happened once I hit about about eighteen years old.

I have a a really good friend who's also someone that I collaborate with named Justin Wu.

And I remember Justin telling me that when you do a performance poem

You are

the writer, director, actor, and choreographer of a very small play, a very short play.

So um performance poetry pulls in just so many different forms of the arts.

And then and then what it allows for is just very, very prof

hopefully very profound communication um and

Yeah, I mean, even this this workshop, this training that I did for this foundation, you know, and dealing with

you know, these different industry leaders.

That was one of their comments, was just how how impactful the poetry was, you know.

And uh I think it sort of speaks to the natural way in which many of us learn.

We learn through through spoken word, you know, before Gutenberg's breakthrough and his technology.

If you wanted to learn so something, you had to have a have a conversation with someone.

And actually, even the the roots of uh of hip hop, your first MCs were Griots in uh in West Africa.

And the Griots' responsibility was to sort of be a walking library where they would in a very rhythmic way communicate the history of their people.

Um and so I I I

believe and I aspire to live in that tradition.
