Spoken Word artists, promoter, host, activist, revolutionary, student, teacher, parent, artivist, lawyer, superpoet… The Original Woman has been given many titles. The most appropriate… people’s soldier.
Soldier? Yes…solider. The Original Woman has been fighting from conception. What happens to a seven year old who has to fight her parent’s crack cocaine addiction? What happens to a child forced to fight the prison industrial complex or watch her parents become victims of the criminal justice slave trade. What happens to a child told that everything about them was ugly? What happens to a “statistic” who becomes pregnant at 15, and aborts five pregnancies by her abusers by the time she turns 20? What happens to a classified habitual criminal, who becomes so disgusted with the legal system she becomes an attorney? What happens to a sexual assault victim who confronts their rapist? What happens…they become a people’s soldier. They become a poet. They become The Original Woman.
