A real memory., The first time I stood before a crowd and read my poetry aloud. Nervous, shaking, trying to breathe…then realizing they were listening.👏

I turned that feeling into art, ...my way. 😃

Still learning. Still creating. Still speaking. ♥

“Speak again.”

“And this time, I will.” @

My first time reading my poetry in front of a crowd @Verse & Vinyl Lounge in SL.

My face was flushed as I clicked my mic on. My Ultra shy nerves- was shot. The breath before the first word…then realizing they were leaning in..- listening.

My Poem: "Let me speak on the hues of my skin" was the hook

This is my visual story ♥
