Innocence Bello
Feature date(s): 03/19/2007
Innocence Bello is a performance artist hailing from Newark, Delaware. She was born Nov. 2nd, 1977 and will not let you forget it, even if you try. She teaches high school when she's not gracing the world's stages, speaking her mind or lighting fires in people's hearts. Since 2000, she's been sharing her brand of art with the world through shows, festivals and around the occasional campfire. She's been lucky enough to perform for audiences of all kinds (in front of hundreds or in front of 2). Her performances are always powerful and engaging, thought-provoking and expressive. Though you can't tell by her plumpness, she's a starving artist hoping to someday make poetry a full-time job. If you wanna get on her good side, offer her pie of any kind or a hug; she's cool like that.
SlamMaster's Note: Innocence is fresh off of a journey to the 2007 Individual World Poetry Slam in Vancouver, British Columbia, this past February, where she duked it out with 71 of the world's best poets. She's also got the utility belt of life. Need a tool, trinket or knick-knack? She's probably got it on her belt.
