My performances cross the boundaries between cultures, between emotional and transcendent states, between the spiritual and the sensual, and between poetry and theater. In the Bay Area Express, Natasha Nargis writes: "She works the room with maximum theatricality, drawing those who are transfixed on the drama before them into her vivid, vibrant world." This style has been described by Stefen, a Berkeley muralist, as "more like a dance" as I unfold my heart to show the world a reflection of its own beauty.
Monday Jan 9:
Saint Paul Alamanc: Lowertown Poetry Jam presents the after school writers of Face to Face Academy in Yours Truly directed by Wendy Brown-Báez
with students Mai Vang, Tyler Arenda, Angela Ken, Chaunesty Perkins, Terence Martin, writing instructor Wendy Brown-Báez andEnglish teacher Jennifer Plum
Face to Face Academy is a charter school that enables students who have fallen behind in traditional settings to work toward graduation. Our after school writing group wrote about home and dangerous neighborhoods, happy and broken families, the joys and struggles of parenting, how to make the world a better place, sorrows and disappointments, our dreams and our blessings. Yours Truly presents our personal stories and collaborative poems, a reflection of what it means to be young, vibrant, determined, curious, and wise.
2011 Appearances:
On Sept 24 an event happened in 550 cities in 95 countries called 100 Thousand Poets for Change.
Cuba and Jerusalem, bursting with life and history and humanity, seemed to erupt into the room. Others, about pain and grief and loss, sunk their hooks into us, touched something deep inside. The energy and empathy of her poems was infectious, and it got us all.
