Brooke gerbers
Brooke (she/they) started out their poetry career in 2019 as a spoken word artist, after being introduced to the slam poetry community in San Diego, CA. They have since taken first place in slam poetry competitions, had the opportunity to perform in cities such as Seattle, Las Vegas and Phoenix, as well as use their passion for advocacy and the arts by being a guest speaker at human rights rallies and fundraisers. Brooke has used their poetry to explore queerness, trauma, feminism, and other topics we were taught not to speak about at the dinner table. When they aren’t on a stage, they’re probably lost in the mountains somewhere with a dead car battery and their puppy, Myka, hoping everything works itself out.
