Living With Purpose - Groundbreaking Emotions

This week's guest is Leslie Duprey AKA 'Slam'. She is a performance artist whose emotional delivery and thought provoking style have been gracing audiences since she first put pen to paper. A regular at Mo Beasley's UrbanErotika, she has produced and performed in "The Mystique of Fly" and "Dangerous Women", both spoken/word performance events held throughout New York. She played a key part in "Tres Chinas" which opened at Nuyorican Poets Café to rave reviews in 2003. She has performed spoken word at Nuyorican, Bowery Poetry Club, Jimmy's Bronx Café, Billie's Black in Harlem, Brooklyn Moon and has been a featured guest on WBAI 99.5. Her influences range from groundbreaking writer Saul Williams to lyrical pioneers Sonya Sanchez and Queen Sheeba. In 2007 she self published her first book of poetry 'So Black It's Blue, So Red It's Sky' and is working to follow that up with her first novel. Join us on Tuesday, February 17 @ 11:30AM to listen in on our conversation AND hear Slam do an original piece live on the air. It's going to be awesome.
