Combining original, performative poetry, theatrical storytelling, and recreations of pivotal conversations with her mother and spouse, Alisha's message is universal: It's never too late to embrace your strengths, face your fears, and become the best version of yourself. Her performances create a dialogue for audience members to reflect on what might be holding them back from living their best life. Alisha's transition was a starting point. Her life transformed when this lifelong prose writer took a leap of faith, switched to poetry. and overcame her fear of sharing her words beyond close family and friends. Since stepping onto a poetry slam stage in May 2023, she discovered her love for live performance and has gone on to win multiple poetry slams, was selected as the prize-winning poet for an anthology, and headlined more than a dozen times.
