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 Latin@ 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. Drawing on my experience growing up in Kansas City and attending the University of Chicago, I adapt to all audiences in relatable, entertaining, and informative ways. My background in mentoring and teaching has granted me considerable experience with youth crowds. I’m also completely comfortable rocking the mic in front of radio shows, open mics, and other crowds. I can be booked for anything from panel talks and academic conferences to music concerts and writing workshops. I specialize in curriculum development and narrative work.

"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."
