Share your story
Let’s chat about the ups and down of everyday life as we attempt to live out the great American experiment.
Read a Poem
We would love to hear your poetry. Or maybe you have the special gift of bringing to life the lyrics of other great poets, like Maya Angelo, Pearl Cleage etc. just to name a few.
Are you writing a book?
Join Shaniece B. Allyn and other special guest writers as we endeavor to put our words to power through sharing our experiences on writing our first novel.
Let’s explore together
Spread the word! Invite someone you know who might want to step to mic expressing their innermost thoughts through poetry.

Live audio welcome from TJ:

The poem below is our unique invitation to TJ’s Poetry Corner where Ladies are always welcome to share their poetry while relaxing and enjoying good poetry wine.

Step to the Mic

Step to the Mic and read a phrase
From your life script, if you please.
Or maybe you would like to tell someone else's story
It doesn't matter my Sista's “just read!”

Here's where Ladies can come together,
Bonding and sharing their most intimate thoughts.
Where words of expressions vibrate the walls.
The price for articulation, No cost!

Women of all color expressing themselves
Through the path of the spoken word,
There are those who may not understand 
Because their visions are hatred blurred.

But- here our poets come together peacefully
To be intoxicated by good poetry wine.
For those who wish to feel the love
By all means please get on-line.

Or maybe you would like to just sit back
And allow the verses to ease your mind,
The pleasure is yours for the taking.
However, to the Poetess, please be kind.

Stay focused my sisters, don’t look back
Tomorrow is yet another day.
With all the love inside our words
No haters can get in our way

So, hold on to the arms of your chairs
Buckle up and enjoy the ride.
As our Sista’s come slinging words of peace and love
Bringing it strong and personified.

Step to the Mic.......
