Who I am
|
|
I am Vincente Perez and I am SubVersive.
As a Poet, activist, musician and more, I focus on the lived experiences of race in America through several mediums. My work centers on Black and Latinx experiences with a special emphasis on Hip-Hop, Spoken word, Narratives, and Identity Politics. Through a unique style of mixing political commentary, personal experience, and poetry, I do my best to challenge the idea that we live distinct political, social, and economic lives. I believe that narratives hold the key to empathy and understanding so my work emphasizes the role that narratives have in (re)shaping worlds, determining power, and if used strategically, fostering connections. My stories, like all narratives, are political. Outside of writing, I am a performance artist, teacher, and father. I specialize in curriculum development, narrative work, and performance poetry.

"This book was a way to heal the past, a way to interpret my past and things that I dealt with, whether it’s anti-blackness from my Latino family—not feeling like I fit in with black people on that side—or using that experience to talk about how race doesn’t exist but racism does, and what that means for multiracial youth who need to hear these kinds of things."
