Artists! Become a member of my organization, Reclaim Artists’ Collective! You'll be listed on our artist directory, so people will know what you do and how they can book you.
I created Reclaim Artist Collective to find a way to help other artists get noticed, market their work, and rejuvenate through self-care retreats and craft workshops.
As a member of RAC you are supporting our efforts to get our 501c3 in 2023, and reach communities in need with my social justice-themed choreopoems, and work from other writers as well. Join the movement!

The Wordaholics!
Some of you have followed my career since I first hit the slam scene with the poem “Wordaholic!” This tier is for my fellow wordaholics who can support a career of raising consciousness through the art of poetry and performance. Because of you, I can bring my American Griot Project programming to theatres, libraries, and schools in marginalized communities. This level of support goes directly to the effort to bring HairStory: Reclaiming My Crown to the stage next Spring. This level has the benefits of the previous tiers but also includes the following:
- Exclusive content - An autographed, framable, Griot broadside from Reclaiming My Time: An American Griot Project
- Private community
- Behind the Scenes Access to the production of HairStory
- Count Each Breath bookmark
- Exclusive VIP Access to readings of new work and virtual events
