'In The Essence of Change' - Faylita Hicks, Spoken Word Artist

Spoken Word artist Faylita Hicks talks about life. It is never easy to face the spiritual trials one experiences at some point, this poem is a reflection of the very confusing process of finding God on one's own terms.




I enjoy sharing the spoken word talent of Faylita Hicks. I hope that villagers enjoy her flow. Our family is very proud of her talent as well as the honesty and candor of her poetry.

The issue of domestic violence has been in the news over the past few weeks. Faylita explores the many emotions and decesions a woman makes while in such a terrible relationship. The outcome of the poem is simply one of many possible real outcomes in our world.





Faylita Hicks is my young twenty-something year old cousin whose voice and poetry have been making waves in the Austin and San Marcos community for years now. She attributes her growth as a writer and performer to the diverse community of open mic venues, her family and friends, and of course, other poets.

What did you think about her spoken word on domestic violence?

It turns out that I have a cousin who I've never met in person. Her name is Faylita Hicks. She is a spoken word artist ... actress ... singer. Her spoken words hit home for me. I feel that many villagers may hear something in her words that resonate as well.

Anyhow, I thought it would be good to share them as part of the weekly Sunday Inspirations meme.
