poetry: It is hard to find the reality in reality TV let alone our daily lives.
But at the door of politics and pretense enters performance poet, actress,
educator, activist and National Individual Poetry Slam Champion, Sonya Renee
ready to do what she does best, REAL. Few artists are willing to be soul naked
in front of complete strangers but Sonya Renee knows the healing that comes
from the truth. Healing for herself and all who hear her. This desire to tell
the truth, her truth, led her to her first open mic reading in April of 2003.
Just sixteen months later Sonya was representing the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">United States</st1:place></st1:country-region> as the number 1
ranked performance poet in the country. Three continents, two national tours
and hundreds of stages later, Sonya Renee is still keeping it real all around
the globe. Her work has appeared in several publications, translated into Dutch
and German and has most recently appeared in the book Growing Up Girl: An
Anthology of Voices from Marginalized Spaces. Her work has been used as
curriculum at the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceType w:st="on">University</st1:PlaceType>
of <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Santa Barbara</st1:PlaceName></st1:place> among
other universities. Sonya Renee has shared stages with Oscar Award winner
Whoopi Goldberg, Senator Hillary Clinton, Grammy Award Winner Peabo Bryson, Ani
DiFranco , Tony Award winner Poetri and countless others. In the 2004, her
honest, raw and very real poetry led to an invitation to perform at the
National March for Womens Lives in the nations capital to an audience of over
1.6 million people marching for reproductive justice. Sonya Renee's slam
credits include 2004 National Individual Slam Champion, 3rd ranked 2005
International Slam Championship in Rotterdam, Netherlands, finalist in the 2006
Individual World Poetry Slam, Austin International Poetry Festival Slam
Champion, first ever 2x Lake Eden Arts Festival National Slam Champion, 2004
Southern Fried Regional Slam Champion and many many more. Combining an M.S.A in
Non-Profit Management, B.A in Sociology, and extensive experience in women’s
issues, HIV prevention, social justice and work with at-risk youth Sonya Renee
has learned that poetry can change lives but only when we get real with
ourselves. This understanding has allowed Sonya to write and perform with a
candidness that reminds us that we are at our very core, the same. Black,
White, Asian Latino, male, female, young, old, it doesn’t matter. Sonya
Renee will tell your story by telling hers; reminding us of the thread that
tethers each of us together, humanity. Sometimes all that is left is to get
Real. Sonya Renee . Is!<u><o:p></o:p></u></span></font></i></p>
