Performing Art – Charlotte

As a native of Jacksonville, FL Kia Flow admits she's no stranger to hard times and selfish mistakes. It was poetry that lifted her veil to sharpen her perspective and allow her to reflect in depth. In a short period of time Kia Flow started to make a name for herself in the local poetry community. She began exploring the world of entertainment by being provided the platform to host a local open mic What's the Word Wednesdays at the FLA Riders Club. There she was able to hone in on her improv skills and ability to bring laughter to even the smallest of crowds. After that she began to become requested for more features, benefits, mini concerts and discussion topic shows; which landed her a gig with Under Da Scope Ent as the host of Venus Versus Mars The Open Dialogue to Intimacy. Acting has always been the second nature of Ms. Flow, so there was no surprise that she would get her “feet wet” in theater. She landed a role on bLackWomanDynamikReBorn written and produced by Jana Bradley. She participated in the 2012 Savannah Urban Arts Fest and simultaneously released her EP Just Use it as a Coaster that included 5 tracks that she actually wanted you to listen to! In 2013 Kia Flow released her mini web series Going with the Flow on YouTube. That year she also was inducted into Black on Black Rhyme Jacksonville and she relocated to Charlotte. As a member of the Slam Charlotte Poetry Team, Kia placed 1st at the 2018 National Poetry Slam in Chicago, IL. She admits that competition has sharpened her performance skills and silenced much of her stage fright. Kia feels that competing in Southern Fried 2015 in Little Rock, Arkansas; 2017 Louisville, KY; 2018 San Antonio, TX and also being the first person to represent Slam Charlotte for both Women Of The World Poetry Slam and Individual World Poetry Slam in 2018 where she ranked 35th in the world have been her best experiences in poetry so far. Kia also has done radio including her own show Going with the Flow Radio Show on Blog Talk. What's next for Kia Flow? Well you can find her every 4th Friday at The Legacy Center in Charlotte NC hosting her open mic Friday Flow! Besides that, there's no telling where you will find The Flow next!
