Check out one of our featured guest scheduled to perform at our 2008 Women Meeting Challenges - Making Change Conference.  Chosen the Poet has performed alongside some of the greatest poets and Hip Hop Artists of our time.  From the International rock band "RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE to SAMMIE the R&B sensation.  This spoken word Poet has also performed with the Tony award winning Def Poets on Broadway.  This young native from Liberty, New York has been writing since the young age of 13, making impact on the structural blueprints used to build historical moments.

As a touring artist for the last 3 years he has performed in over 15 different states and dozens of colleges.  In late 2006 on his second U.S. Tour Chosen ranked in at 2nd place as one of the top 10 poets to compete in the D.C. Baltimore area.  Not only is he making noise on stage this young man is also making noise on television.  You may recall seeing him on MTV, HBO and B.E.T. performing.

Current projects for this young talented genius include his first poetry book entitled "The Struggle Within" and his debut on the upcoming film on underground Hip Hop and Poetry due to be released soon.   Check out his Mixtape CD entitled "My Life My Story vol 1".   Listen to a sample of his spoken word below.
