They say you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. But there will come a time when you're fresh out of honey, and the vinegar is flooding from your tear ducts, not to mention your sweat glands, and you know to your very core that if you don't open up your mouth and set it free, it will drown you from within. In those moments, it's time to get loud. But not just loud. Loud and effective. In this episode, black female performance poet laureate Stacy Dyson, author of Lovely and Suffering and Follow Me On This, joins me to talk about her journey from polite, if occasionally snarky, poetess, to the phenomenal force to be reckoned with she has finally allowed herself to inhabit.

Get Loud & Effective w/ Stacy Dyson

The Story Behind the Story: Author Interview Series with Sierra Melcher: Featuring Stacy Dyson (Episode 6)  Her STRENGTH of being a Badass poet through &amp; through. Stacy Dyson is a poet, acapella vocalist, playwright who specializes in the life and times of the Black woman.   “Someone has to sing for my sisters. Their lives, loves, philosophy...There are centuries of stories begging to be told. I’m lucky enough to be one able to make those voices be heard”.    Ms Dyson has done program design, residencies, workshops, and live performances in Colorado, Oklahoma, Massachusetts, New Mexico, South Dakota, Nebraska, Nevada, and all over San Diego.   “But the stage is my natural habitat. It’s fine to tell your stories, but for me, unless I can vibe, interact with a crowd, my job is only half-done.”   Author of seven collections of poetry (BLACK DIAMONDS, OBSIDIAN ICE, BLUES IN THE FIRST POSTION, WOMAN 724365, NEFERTIRI’S KISS, AND POR INNOCENCIO, and her latest, FOLLOW ME ON THIS), she has also created five CDs of poetry and spoken word.  THE MADONNA OF NEVADA AVENUE, POR INNOCENCIO, A WOMAN BESIDE THE SUN, SO MANY ANGELS, and (Love Me) SAN DIEGO STYLE are poems, stories and music that “celebrate/document/declare what it is for me to be a Black woman in this world, what it is to be an artist, how myself and my sisters navigate our lives. No, that way is not easy. But it is often joyous, and always carries the sanity of truth.  A former Poet Laureate for Imagination Celebration (Colorado Springs) a nominee for Poet Laureate for the State of Colorado. Founder/Lead Poet DragonsWing (Colorado Springs) and CoFounder/Lead Poet for Page to Stage:Womens Words (San Diego) she is also a Pikes Peak Community Foundation Individual Merit Award recipient, a Colorado Women’s Playwriting Festival winner for her play FANNIE’S GIRLS: A 4-1-1 IN -5PART ATTITUDE, and a TEDx speaker.  “It’s never, ever about my single voice. So, the shows and women’s workshops are extremely important to me. Especially now, our lives literally depend on knowing how to speak our truth, share our stories, bring thunder and healing with our voices. The workshops are women only because women will say and bring forth deeper parts of their souls when they’re surrounded and supported by other women. I’ve heard stories, confessions,.. Those conversations, those places have to be given due honor. They have to continue.”     Currently, Stacy is promoting her newest collection of poetry FOLLOW ME ON THIS. In the Spring of 2021 she’ll release a collection of poems written during the pandemic titled LOVELY AND SUFFERING. Coming soon is AUGUST 5000, a play about sisters and their relationship, plus a new women’s writing/performance workshop called FIRESCRIBE.    For further information on Stacy Dyson, her voice and vision: www.saintwinterraines.webs.com www.wickedhotwords.com   Watch the interview: https://youtu.be/wp134Zg9Rno Subscribe &amp; follow for future episodes... featuring a new female writer each week...  Connect with the host Sierra Melcher  on https://linktr.ee/integralwomen    #storycrafter #womenempoweringwomen #powerofthestory #womenwritersofinstagram #PlotTwist #thestorybehindthestory #storiesthatchangelives  ---   This episode is sponsored by  · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast.  https://anchor.fm/app  ---   Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/redthreadbooks/message
