Lady Caress

The Texas A&M University-Texarkana Campus Activities Board will host spoken word poetry artist Lady Caress on Tuesday, March 7, at 7 p.m., in Eagle Hall of the University Center, 7101 University Ave., Texarkana, Texas.

With over 10 years of experience, Lady Caress impacts youth and adult audiences as both a poet and public speaker. Known for fusing poetry with comedy, music, beat boxing and storytelling, she has been featured on Season 4 of “Verses and Flow” and the BET 365 Black Awards.

As a national poetry champion, Lady Caress has coached collegiate students in competitive poetry and prose performance pieces in addition to designing and executing public speaking and poetry workshops for Upward Bound, YMCA and S.T.A.R.S. She has graced the stages at festivals, churches, special events and venues such as Bus Boys and Poets in Washington D.C. and Love Jonz Spoken Jazz Set in Dallas, and she took home first place twice at the Jacksonville, Florida, Amateur Night.

The performance is free and open to the public. Free tea sponsored by Bigelow Tea will be served.
