Floetic Desire

Floetic Desire is a Poet by nature and a Female MC by heart. Her style is a unique blend of authentic poetry that flows with a twist of lyrical bars. Combing poetry and music as one, she says what she means and means what she says in every poem and song.

Jasmin Thompson

My name is Jasmin Thompson. I’m a native Waco, Texas. I’ve been singing all of my life. I come from a long line of musicians, but my mother, Lillian Thomas is my biggest inspiration. I’m a poet, as well as a singer and I enjoy to write, listen to music, and kick it with my family, in my spare time. I have two DOPE sons, and an AMAZING husband, Richard Thompson, “Waco Street Drummer”. I currently sing at my home church, Life Cathedral, where I am the praise and worship leader. My biggest support comes from my family. I am working on a project now, and hopefully, when it’s all said and done, Waco will support, the same way you have always supported me. Waco, thank you for nominating me this award!

Tashita Bibles

My name is Tashita Bibles I’m the owner of Artist-N-U. Creating is my life and has been a source of healing throughout it. I have been writing poetry for over 30yrs but only started sharing my gift with others a few years ago. I love sharing my poetry because it allows me to express myself as I give God glory.
