Poetry reading

Christine Celise, experimental poet, brings life and movement to her pieces. Her work reflects experiences as a black woman, spiritual awakenings through embracing the essence of the Orishas, and the vulnerability of womanhood. Sharing the space will be various organic accompaniments: musically and visually.

Christine Celise is also the creator of Woman Speak, a bi-monthly women's series that celebrates the journeys of women from all points of life. She has had the opportunity to work with various talents in the Washington Metropolitan area as well as Miami Florida, including a collaboration on the forthcoming Poem-Cees Album, and narration for "Untold Stories," a Harambee Theatrical Production.

Additionally, her experience as an artist includes being the creator of a visual arts program and gallery, Art On the Walls @ Miami Light Project, as well as a former member of Alafia Afro Cuban Dance Group.
