BIOS:
Maya Wegerif AKA Maya The Poet was born in South Africa, has lived in Tanzania and now resides in the United States. With her biggest influences being poets Iyeoka and Kgafela Oa Makgogodi, Maya has been writing for as long as she can remember, covering a range of topics including some rather outspoken politcal views. Some of the more prevelant themes in her writing are feminism and Black consciousness. A die-hard Afr(i can)ist Maya believes that “Afrika for Afrika is the order of the day."
Death by Pedestrian is a freshly-formed spoken word poetry duo that combines art, comedy and enlightenment in one shiny, recyclable package. Come catch some of the wildest words being slung this side of the sun.
