What inspires you?
Cool, creative people. I take inspiration from everything and everyone but I find myself being
more inspired by the cool creatives I know, see or come across.
Tell us about your worst ever gig?
Hosting a corporate event with a scarce audience. It’s always difficult when you are faced with hosting a space for people in a corporate setting with low numbers and things/agenda/schedules don’t go to plan. It’s a real test to pull off something amazing in the midst of chaos and make it work as best as you can.
What’s your number one poetry pet peeve?
Performers that completely disregard open mic slot timings (e.g. A 3 minute open mic slot
turns into a 10 minute performance) as a pet peeve of mine.
Whose words do you love at the moment?
Big Scoop
Rae Zoe
What piece of advice would you give to your younger self?
Everything will work itself out. Trust and have faith and KEEP AT IT!
If you could be fluent in a language you do not know, what would it be and why?
Spanish – I’ve always admired the language and can even speak very basic but I would love to
revisit it and learn a lot more!
