I am a Mother, Poet, Activist, Online Open Mic Host, FORMER police officer and Army veteran. I speak out about Mental Health and Social Injustice because of my experiences, past and present. I highly believe poetry is therapy and should have no filters that's why my poetry is raw truth. I am NOT a professional. I just wanted to create a platform for anyone to be heard without "professional politics" interfering.

I'm affiliated with Dallas Poetry Commission and am in charge of the online open mics. A few of the members host in person at local venues. Struggling with mental health and just reciting my poetry on stage, I came up with the idea of getting together an online open mic. I had an idea of "safe space hosting" not just performing. So far it has helped me more with my social anxiety and I'm not only helping myself but I'm helping others who aren't ready to venture out onto the stage yet but are becoming more comfortable speaking and expressing themselves raw and unfiltered. My virtual stage is for everyone, first time or experienced.
