About the Author

Egypt is a Los Angeles based Poet who has covered racism, politics, sexuality, mental illness, and the reality of growing up in South Central L.A. She started writing poetry when she was 15 years old. Egypt used poetry as a positive outlet to express the pressure of being a teenager. She attended a poetry class in high school where she began to develop her craft. Her poetry teacher expressed how inspiring her art was and encouraged her to share her poetry with the world. Eventually, she began to perform for sponsors at her high school. Gradually, she started to perform in front of larger venues at “Poetry Slam” nights and small cafes. The more she performed the better her stage presence, confidence, and writing skills became. Egypt believes everyone has a story to tell. She’s confident that you can have a positive impact if you use your voice in a positive way. She believes if you can touch at least one person you have done your job as an artist. She continues to shed light on issues through poetry. Naked by Egypt is her first professional debut.
