The Ball State U. Show

Ok, so
SPEECH TEAMS USA...

I'm hooked. I had an extremely rewarding experience sharing my words and my motivational agendas with some seriously real and amazing people in Muncie, Indiana. I can admit that although I thought I was aware of Speech team competitions, I obviously never understood the whole of it. Thanks to BSU, I'm in love with this expressive, engaging, and spirited culture.

My not so cryptic message to you is this:

You who were there for women's Week, "Expressions of a Slam Poet" ...thank you for listening.
Thank you for engaging yourselves in the moment.
Thank you for expressing with me that "Love CAN'T get by me!"

To the late night crew, good luck in the National Speech competition in 2 weeks
and please understand that what you do IS poetry.

bless,

Iyeoka Ivie Okoawo
