Straight Shooting with Matt

In this episode I sit down with Kyra Horton, an artist of many forms. She has released her first book of poetry titled Cries of a Butterfly and then released a spoken word album The Silencer. Kyra grew up in Chicago, and is very involved in her community and loves to give back to others. She also currently attends USC and is going to school for a political science degree. I hope you all enjoy how personal this podcast is to both Kyra and I.
