ABOUT DEIA ELWADI (via AKG Buffalo):
Deia Elwadi is a Rochester-based poet whose journey began at 13. Finding solace and expression in words, she embraced the stage at 15 as a spoken word artist, captivating audiences with her raw, authentic voice. After a period of rediscovery following motherhood, Deia returned to her craft with renewed purpose and a deeper understanding of life's complexities.
Deia's poetry is a reflection of her internal dialogue, a testament to the human experience in all its messy glory. She fearlessly explores personal experiences, societal taboos, and the joys, passion, and sorrows that shape us. Through her words, Deia seeks to ignite meaningful conversations, encourage vulnerability, and remind us all to embrace the "Extremely REAL" in ourselves and the world around us.
