The world is my classroom and the life experiences of my self and others are my teachers earning me degrees in wisdom and understanding, making the heartfelt, thought provoking, sincerity of my poetry self certifying. My name Strainj (pronounced strange) meaning unusual or unfamiliarity is only fitting due to my emotionally moving, conscious/street style of writing and delivery. For the last few years I've been reciting my poems throughout Compton, Watts and my own hometown of Los Angeles receiving undeniable acceptance, that's why I'm so animated about releasing my first book of poetry and sharing words of light to all looking for change or as my slogan goes”from the mansions of the mind to the projects of the heart, let the principals of this script and your understanding of it never part”-Strainj poet/spoken word artist.view less
