Faylita Hicks

Spoken Word Artist

A Poet's Tribe Collective

Faylita Hicks is one of the most diverse women in her field.  While her poetry has been the motivating factor behind much of her work, she has set the bar in the standard of the well rounded entertainment experience. 

In February of 2009, Faylita started her own business,

A Poet’s Tribe Collective

The goal of this endeavor is to encourage new and upcoming artists in professionally developing their art while networking with other like-minded individuals.  

This company will provide a venue for free expression, a team of experts to provide one on one feedback and training, exciting events and showcases to be used as career building opportunities. 

In the coming months, we will also be developing a new networking system for touring artists.  Implementing a key part of our mission, we will be providing both free and discounted workshops to the local communities and schools. As a company, we are committed to our artists and to our community.
