"Desdamona is a spoken word warrior who has distinguished herself with her potent poetry and hip hop delivery. Performing her poetry since 1997, Desdamona has been on some of the most prestigious mics for poetry in the country; including the legendary Green Mill in Chicago, the Nuyorican Poets Café in New York, The Five Spot in Philadelphia and the National Poetry Slam Competition. She was a member of the 2000 SlamMN! Poetry Slam Team, the spoken word and music collective The Poet Tree, and in 2002 was one of four female poets who performed throughout California on The Bustin' Out Tour. In 2003, Desdamona was invited to perform on the Jenny Jones Show to an audience of young women, a show that was aired several times. Desdamona received the Minnesota Music Award for Best Spoken Word Artist in 2000, 2003, and again in 2004. She was a featured performer and workshop teacher at GirlFest Hawaii, a 10 day festival held in Spring, 2004, to raise domestic abuse awareness, and was named champion at Honolulu's biggest slam event First Thursdays. In early 2005, Desdamona was honored to co-write and co-perform the theme song for the Detriot Shock WNBA team, and also recently performed at the Feminism and Hip Hop Conference in Chicago."
