Poetic Storytelling Workshop w/Poeticsoulqueen

Evita Colón, PoeticSoulQueen, is a published international FLO poet and creative entrepreneur who has utilized poetry to captivate and speak to the souls of audiences around the world. She has worked with Grammy nominated artists and producers and poets that have been featured on HBO's Def Jam Poetry. She is mentored by the Floacist, a Grammy nominated Neo-Soul legend who supports her transcendence from page to big stage. Her poetry has been featured on BET's Black Girls Rock! Digital, BLK Voices Magazine, Sprite's Get Vocal Campaign, and music by Common, Freeway, and DJ Jazzy Jeff and other countless features locally and regionally.

Her expertise in poetry is telling vivid stories that others can relate to and empathize with although their experiences may differ. She makes spoken word an experience for all to enjoy or think about their roles in our world.

During this workshop, participants will utilize prompts facilitated by Poetic Soul Queen to challenge their pens to write more captivating stories in a way others can understand and relate to. We will be using figurative language devices to craft poems and share.

Bring a writing utensil and paper to participate. We encourage you to write over type as writing is manifesting. However, if a laptop is your comfort, you are welcomed to bring is as well.

This workshop is open to all and experience is not necessary.
