Description
As a child, Aaron was afraid to express who he truly was, and how he truly felt. Now Aaron creates earth-shaking spoken word tapping into the hidden strength of vulnerability. In this electric performance, Aaron uses hip-hop poetry to weave his own stories into the story of his city, country, and world. Drawing from his award-winning hip-hop plays and musicals, Aaron uses humor and character to open hearts (including his own) and surprise everyone (including himself) with narrative twists that shift power and open worlds of possibility.
