renaissance the Poet
I bring you something new, but also familiar. I harken back to some of the earliest revolutionary and social critiquing elements of Hip-Hop, and honor the role of the new age griot.
I first began writing poetry and rapping while locked-up in 1998, as a way to process and survive incarceration. It quickly grew into a key element of who I am as a person and how I connect with the world around me
I am an intersectional activist and organizer in the struggles for Black Liberation and Prison Abolition. I am also a scholar and a vulnerable lyricist and spoken-word artist who focuses on both political and personal experiences to share stories. Additionally, I hold Bachelor’s degrees in History and Philosophy from the University of Washington.
My songs and poems can be anthems or accompany lectures to provide inspiration, intellectuality, spirituality and fun. Recognizing that not all people learn through reading or classroom settings when I was converting my textbooks into raps to pass my exams, I decided to carry that forward into the world and share access to the lessons of have learned through multimedia artistic expressions.

Hustle for Life
“Hustle for Life” is a song that was written to address some very real problems in perceptions that people in the United States have about people who are without homes and who are compelled because of their circumstances to have to live on the streets. Often what happens in American society is a phenomenon of “victim blaming,” whereby other people who are very quick to negative judgment ignore, overlook, forget, or outright dismiss the conditions of people’s lives.
The people of this society have a very short memory and most have never heard of red-lining, or understand precisely what gentrification is and how the two are interrelated.
Many people forget the hardships of recessions, or understand the social and economic impacts of the War on Drugs and the rise of the Prison Industrial Complex, or how the two coincided with globalization and outsourcing.
With “Hustle for Life” what I sought to flesh out were the underlying social and economic conditions that have motivated and at time necessitated particular behaviors and plans of action that this country and many of the people in it so ardently shun.
The goal is to help people to develop an empathetic and critical understanding of the situation that is much more complex than the simple victim blaming method is capable. Without such an understanding there can be no resolution to the issues we face, and certainly no equitable resolution.
The World We Want
Winner of the 2015 University of Washington Climate Change Video Award: 1st Place
Winner of the 2024 Chisholm Legacy Project’s Mo Money Mo Problems Climate Justice Video Remix Contest!: 3rd Place
Climate Change is a real and the people have to know the truth about what it going on and who it impacts. This is a social justice concern that tends to impact people of color and those who are poor the most. The ones most responsible for the harms are the ones least impacted by it.
Hip Hop has a duty to represent this issue for our people and that is precisely what this song does.
All Lives Don’t Matter the Same to Them
Written in response to the “Blue Lives Matter” campaign, group, and cooptation and adulteration of Black Liberation struggle, as well as the “All Lives Matter” slogan and belief that has been a tactic of invalidation of the Human Rights and Civil Rights struggle, which the #BlackLivesMatter Movement embodies.
This piece rips into the history of legislation, constitutional amendments, the rise of the prison industrial complex, and the impact these racialized systems of oppression, socially and legally reinforced, and how they harm People of Color.
