Maverick creates spoken word and slam-style poetry that exists far beyond the stage. Whether on the page or in the podcast studio of her dining room, Maverick's slam poems thrive most in the heart.

Inspired by Rudy Francisco’s viral piece, "My Honest Poem," this slam poetry episode is Maverick Malone's version of truth-telling. Vulnerable, narrative-driven, and deeply human, this poem is a tribute to the power of honesty, connection, and the stories that shape us. Instead of a traditional episode, Maverick offers this performance as a reminder of what unites us all.
