Author, Poet, and Performer Kamilah Simone comes by Hysteria Radio to talk with Joe Fusaro about how she has always used writing as an outlet, and now performs her poetry to help others heal.  She also gives us a live performance from a new project that she is currently working on.  Give it a listen and prepare to feel inspired.

Kamilah Simone is so much more than a person living with a mental illness.  She is a daughter, sister, and a friend among other things.  She is also a poet. Her rants and musings can sometimes be found on www.poetsimone.com.  She is a bit of a wanderer who enjoys cooking and being outside under the blazing hot sun or bright moon and stars.  She has two poetry projects in the works, so be on the lookout for “testimony” and “Simone: Out Loud”.  You can also find Kamilah’s poetry in the book, “Stars: A Collection of Poetry” on Amazon http://a.co/eF7kO616781, and you can view her live performance of “Rock This Testimony” on This is My Brave’s Youtube channel.

His Mother, African American, born and raised in New York, and Father, born in Colombia, came to the USA when his father (John’s Granfather) got recruited to play for a Soccer team in Miami, in the late 1960s. Both of his parents were extremely hard workers, but in 1993, John’s father passed away a month before his 6th birthday. This unexpected death was hard for everyone.

Recently, John has been busy traveling to give screenings of Man of the House.  More than acting and directing, John enjoys the connections he has made with others that have gone through similar experiences.
