My guest is Carolyn, a Baltimore native. Poet, performing artist, author, event host, and that which is most important to her, a "good person."

We start off talking about her upbringing, how it led to her performance background, and some of her favorite moments acting.

Continuing my interview with Grace Love, we talk about the Artist Retreat in April 2022, hosting versus performing, interact with those who viewed us live, and generally shoot the shit.

I sat down with Kandi Turner, the owner of the greeting card company, Black Licorice. We talk about her grandmother inspiring her business, living in Arizona, and her role in uplifting the community, particularly as this was recorded in February.

I had a great conversation with Grace Love. She is among other things a spoken word artist, published author, and the Founder of Poets For Dinner.

In Part 1 she talks about her artistry and creativity, her independence, Baltimore's spoken word scene, and a glimpse into Poets For Dinner artists retreats.

December 31st of 2021 I sat down with Divine, a friend/mentor/poetry goddess and overall amazing person. I wanted to make this the first interview released in 2022, so here we are.

Our conversation spans from her poetry, to her performance, to her purpose. It continues into her evolution, and features her young boys/men.

Continuing my conversation with Nerd. He discusses establishing his identity, networking; meeting and collaborating with DJ Art.is; and his aspirations to expand.

Last episode of 2021 with Nerd, a spoken word artist/rapper/businessman, host of the Refresh DC open mic.

In the first half we talk about him being raised in California; how the LA scene was still "small" for him; making his endeavors a cause for people to support; his poetic influences, styles, and some experiences.

I sit down with the multi-talented and multi-faceted Evie, which means I got to chat with both owners of Evisha. Evie and I discuss how her faith plays in to her experiences, while we cover a wide array of topics. We self-declared a part II, but I am confident that's what the listening audience would want.

Kicking off the new season is my good friend Brotha Anthony. A spoken word artist who has since become a public speaker, community leader, business owner and published author. Hear him also discuss topics such as his journey, the support of his wife, and the evolution of Phoenix from his perspective as a native.

What do you do when you have a long overdue guest on your podcast? Have the episode be long overdue by posting exactly 2 months after the recording, duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Thoroughly enjoyed my conversation with Sassy. Like many other(read: all) guests, there is a lot you can gleam from her words of wisdom.
