Thank You, Denver.

Firstly, thank you. Thank you Denver, thank you Slam Nuba, thank you Crossroads Theater, thank you Ashara and the entire Pan African Arts Society family, thank you Chinook Fund, thank you Untitled at the Denver Art Museum, thank you DJ SD, thank you DJ Cavem, thank you Little Man Ice Cream, thank you Root Down, thank you Mercury Cafe, thank you Poets, thank you friends, thank you very much for your support, your love, your faith. Thank you for walking a ways with me and the Slam Nuba team along this journey.

Last night was amazing and beautiful. It was great to see such a packed house to send us off to the National Poetry Slam in West Palm Beach, FL next week. We will keep you in our hearts and minds while we go represent this magnificent city.

Slam Nuba showcased a bit of the poetry that we will be taking with us, and I am so glad you got to see what we’ve been working on! It was really a fun show, and it was wonderful to have so many of you with us.

This is my first year serving as coach, and when I watch these brilliant poets perform, I feel proud and grateful – and SUPER EXCITED FOR NEXT WEEK!!!!!!

So again I say, Thank You. Thank You. Thank You.
