Hotep the Artist
I created this blog because I see my future taking an immediate upward spiral. I am a professional mime artist and spoken word artist. I've only recently seen the potential of my artform in the past year. Since then, I've been competing in poetry slams, I've been a spoken word featured artist for events, parties, and staged readings, and I've mimed for audiences large and small.
I am not your typical artist, who's good at what they do and who shows off talent for the applause and the money. I have a story to tell. I have a message to give. For those who can hear I speak. For those who can't hear, I mime. Either way, I will fulfill my destiny of uniting the consciousness of my audience, and they will leave believing in themselves and inspired to share their stories as well.
Love is the foundation of all of my work. If I'm shouting, it's because I love you so much that I want you feel what I went through to deliver that message. If I cry, it's because I know the impact that true ministry can have on an open mind. When I smile, it's an expression of redemption, because some people in this world cannot forgive themselves enough to smile everyday.
Me being on stage in any arena is my testimony to my true self. My prayers to God and my ancestors have guided me to you, this blog, and my destiny to reach the masses. Thank you for being apart of my journey!
