Evening of Poetry

Event Host

Cfreedom


Cfreedom, born Christine Brown in Mobile, Alabama, is an international writer, poet, hip-hop artist, producer and photographer. Raised in New Orleans, Louisiana since she was an infant, Hurricane Katrina has showed her that there is no place like home. Cfreedom began doing hip-hop shortly after living in Georgia after evacuating from her hometown, New Orleans, in August 2005. She met some gentlemen from St. Lucia, who produced music beats and in turn, Cfreedom began recording some of her poetry to their beats. With this combination of hip-hop and poetry, she then called it her new genre, Hip-Hopetry.
Cfreedom chose the name Cfreedom shortly after her return to New Orleans when she left Georgia in November 2006. After experiencing injustice with the New Orleans Police Department on a ride to a recording studio with Lock Down Records, she decided that Cfreedom is what she desires to see and share. She became even more aware than she has ever been, with the power of words and speaking things into existence. In January 2010, Cfreedom was blessed to visit St. Lucia Caribbean Island to perform in two poetry shows. In a trip of only 4 full days, she received so much love during her visit and continued to feel that love more and more every day after. Not only was her hip-hop songs played in some of her new St. Lucia fans' shows after her return home, but she was also highlighted in St. Lucia's Mirror Newspaper for an outstanding performance in one of the shows, called Tongue & Groove.

Tessica Williams born in Mobile Al is known to the world as "Lady Tess Mistress of Thickness". She embraced her plus size figure and poetic potential at an early age. She realized that she had a very unique talent of articulating and maneuvering words that appeal to both the soul and nature of an entire melting pot. She utilizes her unique ability to seduce words that not only captivate audiences across the nation, but also to appeal to every aspect of both life and living. She has taken her talent across southern borders that include Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia, Florida and many other states, by featuring and hosting open mics and events. With her sensual style and "in your face" vivacious lyrics, she has become a familiar voice that stands out in a diverse world of poetic sound. She is currently embarking on several collaborations and solo projects. Her lyrical gifts along with many other multiple talents give her alter ego "Mistress of Thickness" a flair and presence that makes any super hero jealous. Lady Tess is a breath of fresh air accompanied by the 1st note of winter and the fresh scent of honeysuckle that usher us into the spring of spoken word. She soothes the mind body and spirit with her words and is an assortment of lyrical taste buds that cure any poetic craving.
