“Last night I went to the Poetry Slam and the special guest was Buddy Wakefield, alongside was Joaquín Zihuatanejo. Wow, both of them are funny as hell and their words were so strong, I damn near cried. Joaquín was so sexy and poetic I was like damn…can a sista’ get a holla?! But it wasn’t about the guys, I was actually there for the words.”
