Spoken Word

Marleana Williams Journey has been inspired by many things. Growing up in an abusive childhood , she and her older sister ran away from their shackles and she embarked on a journey called poetry. Her words now hope to inspire others to survive this journey through life. Her only ambition being to give back to the people and others who have helped her along the way. Whether these words bring tears, feel good vibrations or inpsiration to pick a pen and write, these words speak of a survivor's life, through music, rhythymn, words, and emotion. She hopes to take you on a journey that you can groove to, relate to, and flow with.
Band/artist history
Writing has been a passion of mine for years, but spoken word, entered my life about 3 years ago. You can find me @ local poetry venues,"Magnolia Key Club" , "Meetery Eatery", "Half Past Three", and others. These spots where I go for what I call my "therapy sessions" ... Along with my personal project, I sing with an awesome gospel group called "Chosen A'Capella" ... It has been a wonderful journey for me, and I thank God everyday for allowing me to share my gift with many...
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Detroit city is where I rest... There are truly diamonds here, that no one has seen or heard. Outside of the "hood", yet within the "inner city streets", lies a heartbeat that continues to thump loudly. If you look you will find beauty. Unfortunately not many take a look, they just glance, that is why I am such big supporter of local artists and encourage others to take a long, hard look, into the "D".
