Tampa's most beautiful crowd and the city's most dynamic spoken word talent converge for a night of sophisticated fun, laughter and thought provoking entertainment!
The May 2019 edition of Legends of Lyric will feature the incomparably gifted Ebony Payne-English.
Ebony Payne-English is a literary artist, performer, and educator from Jacksonville, FL. She is the first woman to establish her own chapter of the international poetry organization, Black on Black Rhyme, the 2017 Cultural Council of Greater Jacksonville’s Emerging Artist, and recipient of the Spoken Word Gala’s 2017 William Bell Humanitarian Award. She is the managing director of The Performers Academy, a 501c3 arts education organization that offers programs to benefit foster teens and other under served populations by creating special tailored programs for those who may never experience the passion of the performing arts. Ebony also serves on the Board of Directors of Southern Fried Poetry, Inc, the largest adult regional poetry slam in the nation and is director of programming for Jax Youth Poetry Slam.
She is no stranger to the Tampa Bay area and Legends of Lyric is honored to host the venue for her return.
