Voted "Ottawa's favourite full time writer/poet"
Ottawa Xpress Arts Weekly
Oni the Haitian Sensation, Author of Ghettostocracy is an internationally recognized slam poet and Canada's poetry diva. She has been commissioned to write poetry for the Canadian Commission for UNESCO, the CBC, the Bytowne Museum and Ottawa's Winterlude Festival.
The first Canadian woman to tour the European slam poetry circuit, Oni has performed for audiences in Europe, Australia, Canada and the U.S. She directed Canada's first National Poetry Slam, the Canadian Spoken Wordlympics, and has curated for the Ottawa International Writers Festival.
Oni sees poetry as a way to empower, educate and entertain on subjects not always covered in the mainstream media. An HIV/AIDS activist, Maclean's Magazine praised her award-winning poetry workshops on HIV/AIDS saying, "Sex education has never been as fun -- nor, possibly, as effective."
