A Busboys and Poets event hosted this week by Kezia the Poet

Kezia Snipe wrote her first poem when she was seven years old. Some years later Kezia The Poet is releasing her second spoken word album, Something to Say, which is available to everyone across the globe. After success with her debut album, Matters of the Heart, Snipe said she has definitely stepped her game up with her second project.
