So I cannot believe how much spoken word is in my other hometown of Hazlet. I really enjoyed myself last night. Unfortunately, I couldn’t go to the diner with everyone because my phone died. ::sadness:: However, the open mic was very good. Different styles, different approaches; I loved it all. It was my second time featuring and I was priviledged to feature with Mark Barnett. He adds sense of humor to his pieces on anything and everything. I loved it. He brought his team and they killed it too! I read from “my journey thought poetry” and continued to debut “Azúcar Morena”. She was a bit scandalous for some but loved by others. You can’t win them all.

I was blown away and filled with joy with how many of my friends and family came out to support. My neighbors, church members, frat brothers, friends and new supporters were out in full force. Words cannot express how thankful I am to see everyone out and enjoying the poetry. So thankful for Ms. Patty for introducing me… I really might hire her; she has a way with words and she is a great support. A big thank you to my Frat Brothers Amanda and Rebecca who came from far to see me read! P***** Ladies!

I made a lot of connections and have more venues to attend. So excited to get started with that. I think September would be the best time to start especially since I want the other Avengers to join me.
I have a few things to check out and maybe you should too…
