It wasn’t until 2001 that this beautiful, young poet came onto the scene but her impact has been felt ever since. More recognizable from her work as the “face of Hip-Hop” on MTV2, Amanda Diva has surely made ends meet. Whether it’s blessing mics at Russell Simmons Def Poetry Jam, performing alongside The Last Poets, or holding it down on Sirius Satellite radio, Ms. Diva has undoubtedly become a triple threat.
Although most of her work goes unnoticed, the persistence and perseverance remains the same. Poetry is passion and finding ways to express that passion can be hard for some, but Amanda is unconventional in that she is able to not only express herself through spoken word but through singing as well. Due to creative differences between the two original members, Amanda was temporarily linked to being a part of Floetry but has since withdrawn to being solo. Just so you know, Floetry has since reconciled their differences also but this is still a huge honor for someone like Amanda to be apart of. Her flexibility for expression has no boundaries and that right there will lead her to heights that people only dare to dream.
I thought I’d add a little video or something to show y’all what I mean about Amanda Diva. I think she is highly talented when it comes to spoken word but you can be the judge. This is called “40 Emcees” and it’s pretty good. Check it out. Tell me what you think.
