SLAM
My work has been featured on DCTV (Ireland), and by the activist organizations moveon.org and Global Citizen, who commissioned a piece for their annual festival in Central Park where i performed alongside Stevie Wonder, Green Day and others.
Other performances include the Movement Makers Summit (NYU Skirball Center), and the Peace First Summit with Maya Soetoro-Ng and Arun Gandhi.

My work with theyhavespoken.com led to my second 1m-view video, a piece called The Girls Have Spoken, 2021 Webby Award winner, shared by Madonna, Monica Lewinsky, Van Jones and more.
In addition to various curated events all over NYC/Dublin, I’ve been a slam winner at the Bowery Poetry Club and Nuyorican Poets Café in NYC, and Accents Cafe's monthly "Slam Sunday" in Dublin, where i became a finalist in the Lingo Festival Slam with John Cummins and Saul Williams.

The poems cover a variety of territory, with a focus on political activism and standing up for what’s right. Topics range from hot button issues like immigration and criminal justice to more niche areas like hipster hypocrisy and overcoming anxiety.

While performing “Lady Liberty,” at a rally in Washington Square Park, i met the video team of Global Citizen, who then produced what became the video above, which eventually tallied 1.2 million views on the FB-hosted video they shared.
