My mini-bio on Poetic Stimulator (Poetic S.):
Since March is Women’s Month (although we should celebrate womanhood EVERYDAY!), this Queen, Miss Poetic Stimulator will be gracing the covers on my site today! Poetic S. asked me to be in her documentary on Women in Hip Hop, and so as she filmed me and interviewed me, I interviewed her and snapped some photos as well. First, I was surprised to find someone other than me that loves elephants, and second she is another talented strong independent female trying to make a difference in this world through music, poetry, film and arts. It’s almost rare for me to meet women in hip hop, who also does a million other things like myself to make a difference and to spread truth, and I was happy to finally meet someone who is actually doing the walk not just talking about it. She defines women in hip hop and all aspects, from arts to dance, and every woman who struggles on a daily basis but survives through, ten times the strength than when she started. We talked about several things, and we agreed that women are amazing creatures because after interviewing me and other women, she states that with men it’s always a competition or many of them rap the same. But with women, she states everyone has their own style and uniqueness, and women come together to help each other out because we all know how hard it is being women, and minority in the hip hop world. It’s a beautiful thing.
She is a spoken word artist, who dreams of one day opening a school for children. We had a lot of similarities and our dreams combined, made it look easy to make a change in this crazy world. Poetic Stimulator speaks and represents the female race, and her upcoming documentary “LA 2 DA BAY Womyn Makin their Way,” is a film that all women and even men can relate to. Stating that 2008 is the year for women in hip hop, she is definitely doing more than her part to make that happen. She continues to inspire all the women she worked with, and continue to shine the light on all the women that is making things happen. I promise you that you will be seeing more of Poetic Stimulator, whether it’s at your spoken word joint, or the teacher for your art class, the b-girl battling it off in the circle at hip hop summit, or the film maker walking down the red carpet for her movie premiers. She is all of LA to the Bay, Woman making her Way! Love and Respect to my sister, Poetic Stimulator!
