Poetess, Spokenjazz Artist...what's in a name? Mandika's spoken word is largely inspired by music but it could come from a picture or a single word. For instance, after watching "Carmen The Hip-Hopera" which was a musical,there was a phrase used "You Lonely Hill?" and it stuck with me after almost 3 years. I wanted to find a way to incorporate it into spoken word, hence my poem, "Lonely Hill". It is important for me to include in my spoken word the emotions of what it means or the standpoint of life from the genuine ethnicity of my culture.
Just a peice I want to speak again.
