Eboni Hogan is a poet/actress/teaching artist who has performed in over 20 U.S. cities. For the rebels wearing hand-me-down clothes, and any girl with one too many words in her mouth and not enough ways to say them, Eboni spits for you. Since first picking up a pen at the age of 10, this Bronx native has shared the stage with the late Sekou Sundiata, and has been featured in the African Slave Burial Site Day of Commemoration, the 2007 HOWL festival, Soundbites NYC produced by Mahogany L. Brown, and NYU's Martin Luther King Day Celebration. She is one of the 2007 Grand Slam Finalists at the Nuyorican Poet's Cafe where she is also a team member. In 2006 she lived in Ghana, West Africa for 6 months, where she taught poetry in the Liberian refugee camp and studied theater and dance at the University of Ghana. Eboni's work has been published in the women's poetry anthology His Rib and the self-published collections, The Self Destruct Button and BloodMilk. She is currently in the process of writing her one-woman choreopoem, "Eclipsing".
