Social Media

DJ is relatively new to Philadelphia and a lifelong writer. Their poetry is straight forward with a confessional style and touches on a variety of topics ranging from Queer identity to spirituality. She started to dabble in performance poetry in 2016 and quickly fell in love with the sense community at open mic nights and poetry slams. DJ is currently working on their first chapbook and looks forward to becoming a published author. When not writing, you can find her hiking at Wissahickon, frequenting their favorite South Philly dive bars, or waxing philosophical about the state of the world.
