The evening will be hosted by Spillious the Riduculous and will be featuring Portland, Oregon's tash shatz.
since beginning to write poetry at eleven and starting to slam at eighteen, tash shatz has found a channel to the heartplace through words. tash has been honored to perform with the Tranny Roadshow, share the stage with Athens Boys Choir and Katastrophe, and to present at community events from Take Back the Night to Trans Day of Remembrance. committed to community organizing, tash is dedicated to building beloved community as a trans genderqueer survivor and an ally to movements for racial, economic, disability, and reproductive justice. tash believes that we can do it all without leaving anything out. continuously learning about self-love, tash is a fan of singing off key and being naked in the sun. a blog is in tash's near future, but for now you can find some work here: www.youtube.com/user/tashatz
