As an award-winning writer and producer of inHERitance: the stories we carry and HERstory of HIStory, Byrd uses her experiences as a Black woman to unlocks the opportunity for invisible voices to be heard. Her first chapbook, Mahogany: A Love Letter To Black is my 14-poem calling card. An invitation for discussion about Blackness and our relationship to this country, each other, and how they intersect. Her work focuses on the cross-over between form and freedom.

She is a core member of FLOW (For Love of Writing) Her favorite words are balloon and bubble.

HUMMINGBYRD'S SPEAK
Attendees are encouraged to be active participants throughout the performance, and her approachable and infectious energy makes it easy to participate. The experience was deeply reflective, and I know that anyone who experiences it will be meaningfully impacted. ~Rose Tarullo |
I would describe her energy, her creativity, her choice of words as a gift that not only connects youth her message but also induces the creativity, inquiry, and the urge to grab a notebook or journal and get busy. ~Tina Jenkins Bell, President of FLOW |
