Spoken Word Poetry & Me
And so here we are at the end of the road. Congratulations! You have made it to my last post on this site featuring my last project – at least for now. This one was a gem. In my interactive timeline, I track the origins of my spoken word poetry career, following my growth from…
Where Are All The Creatives?
I consider myself a creative. As a spoken word poet, I make my living and find my passion in creating art. In doing so, I find myself being surrounded by many creatives, whether they be family or friends or both. I am around creatives so often that I find myself preferring their presence.

Ode to My Room
Dear Room, I love you. If I had to encapsulate this video in a single sentence that would be it. I’ve learned to appreciate my room more than ever before during the past year as we entered lockdown and then quarantine. In high school, I was constantly out of the house doing one thing or…

Through sentimental gifts, occasional getaways and the power of technology, my…

I will not lie to you guys and tell you that this project was easy. I can, however, confidently say that it was very rewarding. Something about…
A Tale of Two Towns
This week’s assignment was a treat, hopefully for both me as the creator and you guys as the audience. The task was to make a video out of still photos using the platform Animoto. Although I have done this sort of thing before in a previous course, this time around felt like a whole new…
