<EQuality | “The poet extroadinaire with the Flair of Rick…”

Equality was brought up on the north side of Houston. After listening to Gil Scott-Heron and reading works by Sonia Sanchez, both powerful voices in the African-American community in the 1970’s, his journey towards becoming a poet and an active revolutionary began. From then on he followed his passion and began writing. Later he started performing his poetry at venues in the Houston area. As a student at Prairie View A&M University, he enriched not only his intelligence, but also his soul, mind, and spirit for poetry. In 2005, Equality and Jason ” Flash Gordon Parks” Woods combined their creative talents to make a significant contribution to Art & Literature in the African-American Community. These two profound artists, natives of Houston, TX, have infused their collective talents for words and pictures into a beautiful volume of work – The Beautiful Side of Ugly.  Equality is now 1/2 of the innovative Hip Hop/Poetry duo Blak Embassy and 1/8th of H.I.S.D. with projects from both scheduled to be released in 2007 through Peace Uv Mine Entertainment.
