Anita D is a mother, a daughter, a caretaker, a coach, a creative, a spoken word artist, and a nationally recognized slam poet. Born & raised in Brockton, Ma, Anita has always had a fighting spirit. While she has been writing since the age of 15, it wasn't until almost 10 years later that she found solace to grow in poetry in San Diego. At 25, she began slamming in Southern California and has since slammed both as an individual and a team member for the San Diego and Boston (House) slam teams. Her most notable accomplishments in slam include placing 2nd in the 2016 National Poetry Slam and 3rd at the 2019 Individual World Poetry Slam. She has featured at various venues and universities across the nation, even including a performance at the Staples Center. Anita’s work consists of a personal narrative that covers topics ranging from generational healing to mental health awareness. Her poems can be found on Button Poetry, All Def Poetry & Slamfind for now but one day, in the near future, she will be dropping her first book published by Button Poetry.
