Live recording of a self-written Spoken Word about the destruction that can come from comparison and the beauty that comes when each person's story is valued. 

Tell Your Story

This recording of a Spoken Word paints the picture that diversity can cause if it is valued for the beauty it brings. Through the lens of recent crime in America, political statements and general feelings towards those labelled as "other", this piece speaks out against those who discredit others lives simply because they are different. The original piece was performed with a viola playing the hymn, "It is Well", signifying the attitude we and God can have towards this world if we accept our differences. 

It is Well

This piece is a extended metaphor of depression as a breathing problem. Bringing air and hope into a dark place may just be what we need. 

Breath of Love

A poem about the balance between being a strong, independent woman and finding love. 

Strong, Independent Woman

This piece is a redefinition of what Justice is for our world today. Many churches emphasize God's character of Love and discredit His love for Justice. This piece brings to light the power of Justice and the great need for Justice in our world today, starting with those in slavery, trafficking, those discriminated against, those who are struggling to survive, those whose lives are constantly put in danger, because of a lack of Justice. This piece was inspired by the work of International Justice Mission. 

Justice!

This piece is callout to the relationship bench-sitters and those caught in the trap of thinking life is only about relationships with a boyfriend, girlfriend, wife, or husband. Get out there and live a little! You're needed for more than just a "love-life."
