In her performance poetry readings, Laurent
showcases her ability to weave spoken word, dance, story
and song into a dramatically rich tapestry of her life experiences
in working as an entertainment business law and copyright
attorney in the Hip Hop world, growing up in Connecticut,
or recounting her return trip to her parent's homeland,
Haiti. Fusing words with percussion sounds, Blues/Jazz tunes
and Caribbean rhythms, Laurent creates beautifully jazzy
spoken word rhythmic shows.
Poetry readings are taken from the author's work, including
her book, Vodun
Woman: A Performance Poetry Collection or from the Red,
Black & Moonlight Series. After an introduction
