April 26th: Featured Poet is Simply Kat
Simply Kat is anything but simple. A mother, student, mentor and poet are just a few titles she holds. Simply Kat has conducted dance and poetry workshops throughout schools, group homes, detention and rehabilitation centers for adolescents and took on the role of coach and slam master for the I. E. youth slam team, which competed at Brave New Voices, and is continuing to mentor. She has performed at colleges all over the nation with the intent of empowering and encouraging expression through all platforms of art. She has written and produced a one woman show entitled CORNER SWEET and was brought back to produce another show entitled HUMAN.
Simply Kat also has competed in numerous slams, winning spots on the 2005, 2006, 2008 Hollywood Slam team, 2007 Los Angeles Slam team, 2009 Grand Slam Champion San Diego and is the 2009 West Coast Regional Grand Slam Champion. Simply Kat has also performed on HBO's Def Poetry Jam and opened up for such artist as Raheem DeVaughn, Ryan Leslie, Mos Def and Whitney Thompson (ANTM). She featured in documentary Spit, and has been seen on Current TV. She also has been aired on radio stations from Alaska to Hawaii.
Now as Executive Director of her own non profit The Project Center Simply Kat is a firm believer in adding as many tools as she can to her belt. With a children's book soon to be published as well as a collection of poems, stories and illustrations titled "Lay my Bones over Spilled Milk", she is limitless in her dedication to the arts.
