Louder Than A Bomb Cincy Info Video from Elementz on Vimeo.
Born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio, she has been long known for being the quietest person on the scene. It's astounding to see such a little lady with such a big voice that packs a powerful punch. At the age of 29, she is a Spoken Word Artist, Poet, Published Author, Actress, and Community Organizer. Being a peer advocate and rape crisis counselor, it's no wonder her poetry sits close to home with many listeners. She is applauded for not being apologetic for any of the words that come out of her mouth, which helps her be fearless and attain many of her great accomplishments.
A Cincinnati based poet and spoken word artist, Jori has run the Voices of Freedom Spoken Word for several years, and is currently writer-in-Residence at WordPlay and coach for the Aiken High School poetry program.
Louder Than a Bomb could not happen without a large number of partnering organizations, teaching artists, and financial support. If you would like to sponsor a poet, team, or Louder Than A Bomb Cincinnati, write to us at Taft@UC.edu.
