Thursday, February 16th – Keisha Monique
Two days after Valentine’s, and we’re gonna take advantage of the love in the air and throw us a poetry slam! And we’re gonna be bringing you a sublimely cool feature this time around – Keisha Monique.
Keisha Monique, spoken word poet, musician and sculptor has been creating since the age of nine. In addition to having her poetry featured on radio, television and film, she is also a two-time feature at North America’s largest spoken word concert, “When Sisters Speak”. She has also been a featured performer both nationally and internationally from book cafe’s to festivals. As a musician, Keisha Monique trained with Drum Master Muhtadi of Muhtadi International Drumming in 2006 and has since lent her talents to the Stephen Lewis Foundation AIDS Benefit Concert where she opened for artists such as Saukrates, K-OS, Jully Black, Nelly Furtado and Alicia Keys. Whether performing for the Free The Angola 3 Fundraising Concert or the Future Leaders Conference in Kingston, Jamaica; at University of Toronto’s Diaspora Voices: New Directions Conference or Johannesburg’s Arts Alive Festival, her words reflect the harsh reality of everyday struggles fused with the courage to not only face them but heal from these experiences.
Keisha and the rest of the Burlington Slam Project crowd will be doing their thing at Philthy McNasty’s on Brant st. Starting at 8pm! Bring five bucks and a friend! It’s going to be an awesome night!
