About
Loc'd & Loaded

Loc’d and Loaded Poetry Slam is a poetry slam team consisting of five writers and performers coming together to combine their talents and stories into wildly creative group poems. Each member is nationally ranked and has been on numerous final stages in their own indie competitions. The five members include scholars turned activists, hustlers turned visionaries, immigrants turned bridge-builders, lovers of love, seekers of truth, and warriors of justice.
