Slam Connection Shines at National Poetry Slam
Description
Williamsburg’s Slam Connection just made history by placing fifth at the prestigious Southern Fried Poetry Slam in Orlando — a leap from last year’s sixth place. Facing off against 31 other elite teams, this powerhouse squad, led by poet laureate Lacroy “Atlas” Nixon, delivered raw, emotionally charged performances tackling racial injustice and workplace inequality. With their haunting piece “Sea Shanty” and bold “Dress to Impress,” they proved why spoken word is more than performance — it’s protest. Now turning their focus toward mentoring the next wave of poets, Slam Connection is building legacies, one verse at a time.
