"I, Alyesha Wise, was raised in the city of Camden, N.J. I began writing at the age of 11 and eventually developed a passion 4 this thing called Poetry. The founder of Love, Us, I am on a mission 2 spark a LOVE REVOLUTION, holding a strong belief that unity and compassion is the healing force to all that exists."

  

 

"My highlights on stage include, but definitely aren't limited to: opening for Universal Recording Artists, The Flobots - opening for Wise Intelligent of The Legendary Poor Righteous Teachers - performing alongside remarkable wordsmiths, including Sunni Patterson and Toni Blackman - and being told by poet & co-founder of Essence Magazine, Russell Goings, "In all, you are awesome. "

 

 

"My life is dedicated to the progression of the youth, urban communities and all people. One example of my community contributions include my involvement in the launch of the "Success is in the Bag " High School Mentoring Program in Camden, New Jersey. In addition, I regularly visit high schools and youth centers throughout the east coast. On another level of education, I have performed at over 20 colleges and universities across the nation."

 

 

 

"You may have heard or seen me on media such as Mind TV, 107.9 WRNB with Tiffany Bacon, 100.3 The Beat with Star and Buc Wild, GTownRadio.com, Rhyme Street Magazine or Philadelphia Gay News, just to name a few. There are additional non-performance focal points which I carry, such as being a panelist at The 2011 West Chester University Poetry Conference, co-coaching the 2010 Philadelphia Youth Slam Team, and a speaker at the Saving Promise rally against domestic violence in 2010, Philadelphia, Pa."



  
"I'm one half of PUSSIES, PENS, AND POLITICS. (("PUSSIES, PENS AND POLITICS" is a tongue lashing, fist pumping spoken word romp presented as a collaborative effort between two of the foremost, emerging voices in the spoken word movement in Philadelphia. A "no holds barred" experience that would makes its world premiere in the GLBT Artists Festival, this production presents the work of 2008 and 2009 Philadelphia Grand Slam Winner, Ms. Wise and Scheme Magazine's 2009 "Voice of The Year" Denice, "Ms. Misconception" Frohman—with both fiery verbal exchanges and individual pieces. Both artists, as proud lesbian spoken word performers, have joined forces to use their voices to raise awareness about social injustices in the gay community and beyond, while inspiring the world one word at a time. From raunchy poems about temptation to the ever more relevant Prop 8 legislation --"Pussies, Pens and Politics" is a verbal explosion and rallying cry exploring the context of love in life and politics for today's gay community, while leaving you laughing out loud and empowered—all at the same time))"
