South Bay- Big Wall

The Poetic Artiste began teaching herself how to write poetry and paint in 2014 and 2016, respectively. A Boston native of Jamaican and Trinidadian descent, she pursued her passion for creativity by attending drawing and creative writing courses at the University of Massachusetts Boston. From 2016 to 2019, she relocated to Baltimore, Maryland, where she collaborated with numerous artists to curate events, learn business techniques, feature as a poet, and voluntarily teach art classes to children in Baltimore County Public Schools.

​

Upon returning to Boston, she continued giving back to her community by curating art shows, open mics, and poetry brunches throughout the city. She was selected to be in the Incubator Program at Boston Public Market powered by Citizen's Bank to improve the advancement of small businesses. She is passionate about self-expression and body positivity. Her ability to multitask has empowered her to balance her creative endeavors while also teaching others how to tap into their own creativity. She recently began to volunteer as a tutor to art students in the City of Boston. She is an honoree of the 2025 Extraordinary Woman Award by the Mayor's Office of Women's Advancement.
