Waldine's Experience

As a Performing Artist, Creative Writer and Entrepreneur. I have been exploring and creating space for my work in the world in many ways. Here are some of the ways I have been applying these skills so far. As a writer I have been writing music that I will be releasing this year and into the following year. As a spoken word poet I have been writing and releasing some of my poetry through visual narrative both on Youtube and Instagram. As a creative writer and actor I am currently filming and directing my short film called ” Train Travels” which will be released this year. In addition Since the pandemic I started sharing my music on social media by signing covers, these videos have now accumulated a total of 70413 views and over 3370 likes and counting on instagram alone. As a writer I have published two article on Medium titled “The Power of a Simple Gesture and the second article title “Finding Comfort In Being Alone” as of right now I am currently working on publishing my next article, titled “Redefining what Independence means to me as a young black woman”. My inspiration for my work comes from the lessons, the inspirations, the experience, the observations, the failures and the success I have experienced along the way. My artistry is at the center of my music, my writing and my dramatic works.
