As seen on All Def Digital, Latino spoken word artist David A. Romero Zooms or flies in to your campus from Southern California to perform poetry and share his stories about food, family, social justice issues, and Latinx culture. In a show that combines performance poetry, personal testimony, and politically-charged commentary with a slideshow featuring images from history, current events, and Romero's own life experiences, Romero moves crowds to laugh hysterically, think critically, feel hungry, cry tears of joy or sorrow, and raise their fists in protest.

 

Romero relates what it's like to be a “pocho,” or, a Mexican-American who identifies more with mainstream American culture than what is often expected by society from his racial identity. His status as an outsider among his own people makes for an insightful, and often humorous, exploration of Latinx culture and identity politics. However, not merely a comedian, Romero's passion for social justice, coupled with his experience as a political activist, expresses itself in fiery poems that touch upon issues of racism, immigration, war, and economic injustice.

Zoom details:

 

Romero will dress sharp in suit and tie for his performance and sets his device on a platform so he can be as dynamic with his poems as he would be in a live setting. Romero also has professional light stands for night performances in order to ensure his picture quality is excellent!
