My name is Tru Kwene and I'm so grateful to be in this space and even more thankful for all of your support. Spoken Word Poetry has saved my life in so many ways. I appreciate the way it has brought me a community of people who have become my family, and opened doors I'd never dreamed I could walk through. I love supporting my fellow poets and artists and encourage you all to take some time to check out the community of artists around you!
