Jennifer Falu is an incredible spoken word artist whose words will uplift even the most downtrodden of us. Jennifer won first place in NBC-TV’s Amiri Baraka Poetry Slam and was ranked third internationally in the 2014 Women of the World Poetry Slam.

She has been a member of the 2006, 2009 and 2012 Nuyorican Poets Cafe Slam Teams, won the national Women of the World Poetry Slam in 2006, and ranked 3rd in the WOWPS in both 2009 and 2012

As a performer, Falu has shared the stage with Jennifer Holliday, Carl Thomas and Patti LaBelle and recently made her film debut in “Mania Days”, in 2015 alongside Katie Holmes.

Her works are filled with such grace and attitude and convey so much emotion that we can’t help but be entranced by them.

I stumbled upon Jennifer Falu’s 10 Things I Want To Say To A Black Man and couldn’t help but share it on here. For me it is everything I want to say to a man and I like the part where she says, ‘Promise me that you would not promise me things a man should not unless he is in fact a man.’

I hope it leaves you speechless as it did me.
