Queen Sheba — 3x consecutive Grammy-Nominated Spoken Word-Poet — is taping her pilot to submit to NETFLIX. Dress cute for the cameras!
As the only woman in the poetry nominee cohort, this year, her album A Hurricane In Heels: Healed People Don’t Act Like That is in the final round to WIN the Grammy, and she is documenting her entire journey.
This is her third consecutive year being nominated in the Spoken Word-Poetry category — a testament to the power, consistency, and brilliance of her work. Cameras are following her all the way to music’s biggest night in Los Angeles on February 1.
Sheba is looking for the best poet in every city. Sign up for the Poetry Open Mic Night!
The best poet in the open mic wins $100 cash at the end of the night!
