Hi, I’m Dawn (aka DEEsign)
Creative soul. Artsy to the core. Poet, Speaker, Author. An unapologetic lover of God, of love and of all things nature. Hardcore logophile with an epigrammatic style. Thanks for visiting!
Let’s hang out:
At its core, my artistry is a fusion of artivism, faith, and storytelling, designed to inspire, challenge, and uplift.
This is what you’ll find here:
- Pieces that move between introspection and shared experience, connecting my personal reflections with themes of love, justice, resilience, faith, and identity.
- Whether I’m exploring historical legacies, contemporary struggles, or spiritual truths, you will be taken on a journey, guided through layers of thought and emotion.
- I draw from communal storytelling traditions, gospel-infused oratory, and the rich spoken-word legacy of the African diaspora.
- You’ll see that I use repetition. I do so to reinforce meaning, evoke emotion, and build momentum. I often add audio video to share a lyrical, musical quality to my delivery.
- Hope is the driving force here. Even when addressing heavy issues I lean into hope, healing, and transformation.
My work has been published in anthologies, magazines and newspapers then I later wrote and published my first book: “Moments: A Poetic Heart Journey”. And I continue to write.
Whether you landed in this space by choice or curiosity, I hope being here inspires you to be brave and to use your voice and your mode of creative expressions to show up fully and influence the spaces you occupy.
There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.
Maya Angelou
