ASIA BRYANT-WILKERSON
PERSONAL PROFILE
Since ***7, I have been working as a full time
teaching artist and performer. I have toured the
US, performing and teaching writing workshops
at various colleges & universities such as
Emerson college, UC Berkeley, Barnard College,
and Agnes Scott College. In 2019, I coached the
Penn State University poetry slam team and led
them to a national title (College Union Poetry
Slam Invitational hosted by the University of
Houston).
I have been hosting and organizing local &
national poetry festivals for years and now
having finished my MFA, I am currently searching
for a role where I can utilize my skills as a
organizer and artist.
