A quote from Ladi Glori

My passion pursuit for truth began with a three-part promise to myself, spoken into a broken mirror. 'Say yes to yourself each and every time you are moved to share your truth. When the time comes... Someone will ask to hear it. Say yes to them, too... Everytime. Rinse and repeat'. After just one 'yes' to myself, I was indeed face to face with another human being, tasked with fulfilling the second half of her oath. Honoring myself with that first 'yes' meant that I would never ask to be heard again. A poet was born."

-Ladi Glori

She was published in the anthology ‘Below the Belt’, received an Editor's Choice Award For Outstanding Achievement in Poetry (presented by the International Library of Poetry), was named a top ten poet of Central PA by Jump Street (an art organization based in Central PA) and recipient of the Never Stop Dreaming Award (Presented by the Minority Business Network).

She has toured as a featured spoken word artist at small and large venues across PA, Maryland, DC,Virginia and the Carolinas (universities, festivals, concerts, rallies, open mics, etc).
