My Bio:
Linda came to realize along time ago that she had two options.
First was to become a product of her environment, and second
was to pick up a mic. So after some time she decided to pick up
the mic.
Growing up in the inner city and with the state as her parents,
her choices were limited. She knew the code of the neighborhood
and that was you don't talk about how you feel, or you would be
weak. So she decided to pick up a pen and let it all out.
From that point she has been unstoppable. Her only sanity,
where she would not be judged, was found one night in New York
City. Linda walked into an Open Mic Café. She could remember
clearly how nervous and afraid she was, but that did not stop her.
When Linda picked up the Mic and free flowed from the heart she
could feel the base of the applause. She knew right then and
there that her destiny would change. In between the struggles and
hardships she continued to write and use the mic as her outlet
She has been published in poetry books and has won many writing contests.
She has had the opportunity to perform with great Legends, through poetry,
translating words through sign languages, to monologues. As one of the
founders, she knows that The Rilyc will supply the same outlet in which she
found, to many in her community.
Since The Rilyc will be near the new upcoming Casinos, she hopes to steer
them away from gambling their lives away and instead come to an environment
where their voices will be heard - somewhere anyone can just "pick up the mic."
