S3 EP2 Part 2: Living in Your Authenticity, Being Blessed But Bullshit, Performing Poetry, Living as a Same-Gender-Loving Male, & Liberating Yourself w/ Artis aka DJ ART.IS in Anacostia, D.C.

In part two of my conversation with Artis, we talk about living in your authenticity, Artis performs some of his poetry - including one about living as a "same-gender-loving male" which leads to a longer discussion about this - and we talk about how being blessed still comes with its bullshit.

Artis has written over 600 Haikus - some of which he shares with me - and has over 1000 poems compiled in a series of books he is writing.  And he's doing great things as an arts activist and curator in his local community in DC.

You can find him on IG @art.isempowerment or @djart.is or @art.ispoet
