SUMMARY:The Oakland Poetry Slam & Open-Mic - Featuring '09 Champ Joyce
  Lee
DESCRIPTION:On September 24, The Oakland Slam& Open-Mic is thrilled to
  be returning HOME to The Oasis! This show will feature none other tha
 n Oakland's own 2009 Champ & iWPS rep Joyce Lee. Joining her, for your
  pleasure is Richmond VA's Champ John \"Survivor\" Blake. Both will be
  putting the finishing touches their work in preparation of taking on 
 96 of the nations top performance poets in iWPS - the Individual World
  Poetry Slam, this October in Berkeley.\n\nJOYCE LEE was born in Oakla
 nd, CA and raised throughout the Bay Area and Portland, Oregon. Writin
 g is her second love – her relationship with her God her first. She 
 has been advised numerous times to assume a \"stage name\" but resolut
 ely refuses. She believes the stage is one of the few places where all
  are granted complete transparency and authenticity. Joyce walked into
  a poetry slam for the first time in January of 2008 and was hooked, b
 ecoming an immediate fixture in the thriving Bay Area Slam scene. She 
 regularly features with Valarie Troutt and the Fear of a Fat Planet a 
 jazz ensemble and in the last year has graced stages small and large i
 n world famous locations like San Francisco’s Yoshi's, da Poetry Lou
 nge in LA and The NuYorican Poets Cafe! Her words wow audiences in eve
 rything from the Harbin Hot Springs conference center to hot rooms in 
 Pentecostal churches. She has proven herself amongst her peers to be j
 ust as generous and flexible as her writing. Joyce is Oakland, Califor
 nia’s 2009 Grand Slam Champion and considers the honor just the begi
 nning of a great career as a performance poet and writer. She accredit
 s a generous portion of her success thus far to her mother, Rolette Fi
 ndley and an inspiring cast of poet/friends including: D. Silence, Jay
 lee Alde, Jaime DeWolf, Denise Jolly and Sonya Renee Taylor.\n\nFor mo
