Her gentle wisdom on topics such as love, art, race and politics has led her to be labelled the voice of a generation by Viacom and BET International.
This year she has toured Ghana, worked closely with the London Symphony Orchestra and released a collection of poems and stories that she will be bringing to life on stage with some very special guests.Her global tour will commence in January, taking her across the USA and Australia, pushing what MTV are calling ‘the new wave of spoken word poetry’.
