Koromone Asabe-Yobaere

Koromone (KAY) is a poet, performing artist, multi-genre writer, voice creator, and audio journalist. 

KAY was born and raised in Nigeria and discovered her natural flair for the English language in high school. She went on to study English Literature and Creative Writing (BA, MFA) at Hofstra University.

In her freshman year, KAY's poetry professor introduced her to spoken word poetry and the Nuyorican Poets Cafe. After hearing KAY perform at a slam poetry contest in St John's University, a stage actor and theatre group director, Shadrach, invited her to join his performing arts group called The Truth. KAY performed as a stand-alone poet with The Truth at high schools, universities, community events, and galas in America. 

KAY was also performed with Artists Without Walls (AWoW), an organization purposed to inspire, uplift and unite people and communities of diverse cultures through the pursuit of artistic achievement (2012 - 2014).
