C.B. - While in college, I would write poetry, I had a notebook that was filled with all my poetry. I performed at my college graduation in 2001. I would also do open mic.

S.M – I read your bio and I see that you were selected for the TedxGreenville Conference out of 150 nominees.

How did you feel and what was the process?

C.B – It was a great experience for me! Everything went well. The process was very strenuous; it was a 4 month process. It took me 5 weeks to prepare for it.

S.M- I understand that you will be going to South Africa. What will you be doing there? Tell me more about that.

C.B- Yes! I will be traveling to S. Africa for a 2 ½ week vacation in addition to performing at the University of Pretoria (Chi Alpha Tuks) for a poetry event called UNMASKED in collaboration with Universal Xperience and Editor of In His Steps Magazine and host of UNMASKED, Adebayo Okeowo! I worked in S. Africa for 3 months in 2013 and fell in love! There was so much to see and I felt like I needed to go back to see some more sites and do some more Tours! So going back was more exciting than the first time and to be able to perform poetry was a double blessing!

S.M – Do you have any CD’s available? Tell me about them.

C.B- My first CD was called NEXT IN LINE-THAT’S YOUR BABY. My recent CD is called WILDFLOWER – Volume 1. My third CD is WILDFLOWER-Volume 2.

S.M- How did you come up with the name WILDFLOWER?
