Makeda Kumasi the Triple threat is What it do!

By Lue Dowdy

How many of you like poetry or spoken word? I know I do. Freedom of speech and expression is important especially for poets and spoken word artists. I love the word play and how the artist’s makes you feel, like my girl Makeda Kumasi. Makeda has a way of pulling you in. 

I’ve had the pleasure of watching this Queen in action. Not only is she a poetess/spoken word artist but she’s also a dynamic dancer, singer, and actress. Wearing so many entertainment hats she still finds time to be a boss by running and overseeing her very own production company titled, ‘WE 3 PRODUCTIONS’. Her production company is community based and teaches cultural dance and music to the youth, young adults, ad elders within San Bernardino and beyond.

Recently dropping her first Spoken Word Album “A SPOKEN WORD EXPERIENCE”, Makeda is making a name for herself globally. This project in my opinion is ‘THE TRUTH’. On the album you’ll hear heartfelt tacks like “Electricity’, ‘Fly Away Bird’, ‘Mother’, and ‘We Return’ along with 7 other amazing tracks. Performing professionally for years all over Southern California, other States, and Countries many have been touched by her performances. Make sure you get the album, which can be accessed on Spotify. 

Studies have shown that the teaching of Spoken Word  and Poetry is a great way to help students with cortical thinking and it teaches them how to use their powerful voices. Now a days you’ll be able to find poetry slams and spoken word contests located all over the word. It’s also therapeutic and a stress reliver. If you ever feel upset or stressed don’t be afraid to take them words to paper, pick up the pen.

Catch Makeda Kumasi’s next event the ‘Urban Djali Tour’ on YouTube live Friday 9/10. Link reservation through Eventbrite Online Events. Remember it’s ya girl LUE and this is WHAT IT DO, Until next week SNAP, SNAP!
