Laura Yes Yes

Born and raised biracial in Washington, DC, Laura Yes Yes has always strived to build bridges between diverse groups of people. She continues to do so with her funny, insightful ruminations on our desires, fears, and social mores.

Laura is a performance poet with a rigorous academic background. She's not afraid to scalp you with a metaphor. On the softer side, however, Laura is a huge fan of young women and loves nothing better than inspiring them to bravery and boldness.

Laura has performed for audiences from Hawai'i to Columbus to Florida, and has generally wowed people with her irreverence, intelligence, and heart.
