2018 Women of the World Poetry Slam - iCon "In My Skin"

By definition, an “icon” is usually a symbol or an image that stands for or represents something other than itself. As an artist, SHA'CONDRIA "iCON" SIBLEY stands for and represents for those who are oftentimes marginalized and whose voices are silenced in today’s society. iCon is a nationally-acclaimed championship poet/spoken word artist/actress/teaching artist. As a founding member of Team SNO (Slam New Orleans), she has helped the team win multiple regional and national titles, solidifying them as a “dynasty” in the world of slam poetry.

"your ass wouldnt last on step outside the door in my skin." That line right there was the one that damn near made me stand up. This was amazing, I loved the energy, the passion, the power. Everything was just impeccable.

Yes MA’AM! That was fantastic! The passion and delivery got me SHOOK. I can’t personally relate to your poem, but as someone who has said these problematic things, I now see how hurtful they are. Thanks. I came here from Vino Veritas’ list of poems and as a poet I had to come see and you did NOT disappoint!
