A Busboys and Poetry Event hosted this week by Chris Thomas
No stranger to the stage, Chris Thomas has graced numerous venues. Along his journey, Chris has blasted his story at Studio 2001 Art Gallery, Angelina College, Howard University, Eleanor Roosevelt High School and Journey of Faith United Methodist Church. Just to name a few venues.
Chris Thomas raises his voice through his art for the benefit of Child Abuse Prevention Awareness, Black Lives Matter, SGL (Same Gender Loving) and the LGBT community. He knows there are many other minds, bodies and souls to be touched by his message. He intends to continue to challenge mindsets and command stages.
Ladies and gentleman, Chris Thomas.
Featuring: Obbie West
Poet from Los Angeles, CA. Poetry is not something I do, it’s WHO I AM! Introduced to this lung in 2011. He has been blessed to travel the country, connect and draw energy from amazing people as well as featured on TV1’s Verses and Flow, Season 4. Obbie West uses Poetry, first and foremost, as a vehicle for liberation. After that, it's a tool used to build awareness and speak for those whose issues have them tongue tied. My ultimate goal is to assist in moving the art form forward until it's held at the same level of prestige as other well supported genres of art (R&B, Hip-hop, Alternative, POP etc.). If you want to know anything more…JUST LISTEN!!!
