When @atlutd@djwhitemike calls and asks “Hey do you want to curate and perform a show in a private wing of Mercedes Benz Stadium?” you say YES. I’m so excited to be a part of a new @atlutd experimental series where they are making atl culture accessible to season ticket holders in a virtual medium. It felt great to be back in it with my brother @mistervirtuoso and to try a new set. Thank you for everyone who made it out and to @adanbean for rocking the stage with me. It’s up from here. #ashleehaze #poeticadvertising #poetry #creatives #atlanta @philosophymediagroup

🗓️ 1 year of not touring and I’m knee deep in the work of advocating for artists in the South and repping @alternateroots in the field. Thank you @fractured.atlas for the invitation to dream about what Atlanta’s Art Scene might could be if we tend to it better. This was an all star panel and a brilliant moderator. 🎙️

Even with chokehold bans and body cameras, Black men and boys are still dying at the hands of police.
In 2024, 326 Black people were killed by police nearly 3 times more likely than white Americans.
After Eric Garner, policies changed. Chokeholds were banned. Cameras were required.
But the killings continue.
Garner confronts that painful truth: if reform came, why are we still losing so many?
This film is about more than one man it’s about the lives still being taken, the families still grieving, and the justice still denied.
Because Eric’s story was never just his own.
Yesterday was MAGIC. A small heaven for a back girl. Thank you @thinktank20 for inviting me to be a part of this. I’m so grateful for the moments our paths cross. Let’s do this again soon🎙️#poetryontheporch

Last night was a 🎥
20+ years of Atl poetry history in this photo. As much as we have paved our own paths, we have always remained in community with each other. I’m grateful for the iron that has sharpened me. And the MONSTERS who remind me the work is never done. Thank you @adanbean and @mysavoirfaire for the invitation to rock with these giants @jon_goode@amenabee 🎙️
Atlanta, we had to do this the right way, & what other way is that than to bring in..
Ashlee Haze.
If you know, you know. If you don’t, you’re about to.
One of the most accomplished voices in poetry slam, a staple in the Atlanta scene for over 15 years, & someone who knows how to hold a stage by its throat.
We’re bringing her in as our Headline Feature for May 14th at Atlantucky.
This isn’t just another night. It’s the start of something consistent in this city, built with intention, with the right people in the room, & all we need now, is for you to bring your energy into the space.
15 slots. Raffle style open mic. Live painters. Vendors. Music. Food. Drinks. Something super special.
Tickets are already moving, so if you’ve been waiting for a space like this, this is it, & the time is now.
Tap in.

⚡️Thank you @amaatlanta for the invitation to open the show with an original performance to honor @morgansparker and the women in marketing. Thank you @careydurhamviolin and @thriveassistance for holding me down. The energy in the room was electric. @niasays_ almost 10 years ago we met sharing an office and dreaming of nights like this. So glad we arrived. 💗
