Howard U’s Poetry Cypher: Queen GodIs

Tonight I ventured down into the famous U Street District of D.C. with Eazy for the Howard University Homecoming 2011 Poetry Cypher. Now, I will admit, I am slightly a newbie to these types of events. I figured I’d just start going to things if I want to network and meet new folks. I’m finding that everyone has such beautiful energy and I’m grateful to have met them.

One person in particular, however, I’ve been dying to meet since I first saw her on the HBO mini-series Brave New Voices back in 2008; Queen GodIs. I imagined that she would be six feet tall and be statuesque like a goddess. Man, was I right. Literally, she isn’t 6 feet tall but her spirit makes you feel like she towers over you. Her make-up was flawless, her outfit was beautiful, her poetry was breath-taking.

I. Am. A. Fan.

Not to mention, she shouted me out on stage! It just made my night. And of course I got footage. For once, my phone did not die on me. The image isn’t all that great but you should still be able to hear her words. I had to split the video up into sections because it was so long. Her entire performance was 25 minutes! But it was worth every minute of it.

Queen, if you are reading this, from the bottom of my heart…thank you for being the inspiration that you are to me. This is my dedication to YOU!

More to come…iWrite.
