Armsted Christian, an artist with a mission

Some individuals have a unique way to move us. They wear neither army uniforms nor political raiments, but their words or actions shake our inner beings, forcing us to question our habits and beliefs, and ultimately open our minds.

Shaniya Nicole Davis

Today, I tuned in to April Sims A and E Radio. The topic was Shaniya Nicole Davis, the 5-year-old girl who was found dead on Monday. Two people are involved: Mario Andrette McNeill, 29, for kidnapping, and more importantly, the girl's own mother, Antoinette Nicole Davis, 25, for forcing her into prostitution. You can read an article HERE. In the meantime, here is a picture of the kid. To read more, please visit… Continue

Interesting discoveries...

During my research yesterday, I made a few interesting discoveries: 1) If you have an account with Ping.fm, you can now update your page on a Ning network of your choice. All you need is the link to the network, your email address and your password. I love the idea! Now, I hope they will let us do it with more than one network in the near future. 2) If you have an account with Twitter and are… Continue

How to get more exposure for your creations

Independent artists find it hard to get exposure for their art, especially poets and spoken word artists. What are the possible solutions?

The venues to get one's creations noticed are many and few at the same time. It takes months, and mostly years, of hard work and patience to finally hit the general public. I have connected with some of the most incredible artists and supporters in North America and have followed their tips and advice very carefully. And as a result, I received more… Continue

Introducing the Soulpoetrysite.com Product Line

I am proud to announce the birth of the Soulpoetrysite.com Product Line. SCPL was created on the premise that poetry surrounds us everywhere, but that too many fail to see it. Why? Because of what has been done to and said about this art form. Contrary to public belief, poetry is not limited to rhymes and feet. It is not reserved to an elite whose verbiage can only be understood by their peers, as most schools and universities seem t… Continue

My feature with Nesheba of ESpiritE

When I woke up at 4:30 am today, I knew something was up. I was very excited and I could not help but think about my feature with Nesheba of ESpiritE. I had listened to a couple of her shows, and I had been very impressed. So, I had a very good vibe. For some reason, I started thinking about my poetry, and how much I had grown as a person and an artist since the beginning of my career. Two words popped out of the blue: Life and Death. I grabbed a pen and wrote them on a piece of paper. I realiz… Continue

My first feature and a few thoughts...

I had a dream for many years. I wanted to be interviewed on the radio and talk about my poetry and my vision of life. I knew that, one day, people would eventually understand why I write, and what I want to bring to the world. And these days, the dream has come true! I had my first feature of the week last night. Tmill was a fantastic host. Not only is he a true friend and supporter of my work, he is… Continue

Ourstage is a joke!

Please, read this: if you are on ourstage.com, delete your account there. They removed the Spoken Word category, forcing us to enter our tracks in other categories. When we start ranking well in those categories, they remove our songs. Their excuse? People complaining that our tracks don't fit. It happened to me twice this week. I was in the top 50 every time (out of 200-300 entries!) Let's put them on blast! Continue

"Project: Heartbeats and Elevation" - Review by Jennifer Hudock from eMuse Magazine

A Spiritual Journey Cendrine Marrouat's "Project: Heartbeats and Elevation" is a spiritual journey from one page to the next. As I read, read and reread each poem in this collection, there were literally moments that I felt as though a divine voice spoke directly to me through her pen offering wisdom, courage, advice and the purest form of love one could offer. Marrouat uses a variety of poetic forms and styles, with works ranging in length and subject, but always on target with the impact and… Continue
