I am Vincente Perez and I am SubVersive. As a Poet, activist, musician and more, I focus on the lived experiences of race in America through several mediums. My work centers on Black and Latin@ experiences with a special emphasis on Hip-Hop, Spoken word, Narratives, and Identity Politics. Through a unique style of mixing political commentary, personal experience, and poetry, I do my best to challenge the idea that we live distinct political, social, and economic lives.

I believe that narratives hold the key to empathy and understanding so my work emphasizes the role that narratives have in (re)shaping worlds, determining power, and if used strategically, fostering connections. My stories, like all narratives, are political. Outside of writing, I am a performance artist, teacher, husband, and father.
