Hi Everyone!
I am a spoken word poetry artist, and I go by the name Epiphany. One of my biggest goals of this year was to release my very first poetry album entitled "Say it to a Beat!" (It's been several months in the making...and the year's almost over!)
This album is very creative, inspirational, and original...like YOU!! :-)
How can you help make this a reality? By contributing to the project through this page. (Click "Fuel This Project" in the top right corner or click on the rewards on the right side to contribute!) In exchange for your hard-earned money, you will receive awesome rewards ranging from a personalized thank-you card to an advance copy of the album and much more! In addition to your crowd-funding, you can tell friends and family how great it felt to support!
What is crowd-funding? Simply put, it is using a platform (in this case, Rocket Hub) through which a multitude of people can donate to a project in small amounts in exchange for unique rewards. (Trade, not aid.) Through the aggregation of funds from these “micro-patrons”, a project can be financed.
Why $1500? Thanks for asking!
The poetry album is 100% finished:
The only thing missing from this equation is the manufacturing, distribution, and promotion of the album! I am professionally manufacturing them, because I truly believe this album is going to be seen and heard around the world!
And that’s about it! This is a goal that I have been striving toward while working and going to school full time, and it is exciting to finally see it manifesting. I gratefully appreciate your help in taking me a step closer to my dream.
