How to make a Inkdiva Limited Edition
Ingredients:
1 part mercy
1 part arrogance
5 parts beauty
Method: Blend at a low speed for 30 seconds. Add a little cocktail umbrella and a dash of curiosity
THERE COMES A POINT IN YOUR LIFE WHEN YOU REALIZE WHO MATTERS, WHO NEVER DID, WHO WON'T ANYMORE, AND WHO ALWAYS WILL. SO DONT WORRY ABOUT THE PEOPLE FROM YOUR PAST. THERE IS A REASON THEY DID NOT MAKE IT TO YOUR FUTURE."
....TOO many to mention, yet not so many not to remember, I thank God for all the people HE has placed on my path, even those "pens" whose ink hurt me, or those who stabbed me, those who abused me and took advantage of me..because, ultimately, through those experiences too, I became the woman that I am today! so....thank you!!

...I still have an accent...and indeed I do....never trying to camouflage my roots, I am proud of my genealogy tree, because my leaves make me who I am today...their branches extended my way and their shade kept me cool when it was hot and gave me shelter when it was raining...these storms now stopped briefly, just long enough to allow me to appreciate the sunshine that comes my way day after day......

Silvia Lewis (Simply Sil) hails from Italy, and currently resides in Nashville Tennessee. Simply Sil is known worldwide for her amazing ability to be a lyrical vessel, connecting soulfully with women on all levels of intelligence and of the most diverse ethnic backgrounds. She achieves this through her healing poetic testaments and conscious poetic lessons. Where Simply Sil is versatile enough to sway you romantically or touch you spiritually, her forte is to shoot straight from the hip with solid real current events in an effort to elevate supporters and fans to their highest mode of self-improvement and self-awareness.
In her travels as a motivational speaker and spoken word artist, Simply Sil has performed in several places; including but not limited to: New Yorks Nuroyican Cafe, Atlantas 7 stages Theatre, The Loft, The Roof, The Jaya Monkey Cafe', Tennessee State University, The Frothy Monkey, Vanderbilt University, MTSU, African Street Festival, Homeless Power Project, MLK Day, Nashville Peace and Justice Center, The Bellcourt Theatre and many Coffee Shops throughout the USA and Europe! She has appeared on local Cable TV as well as other public events. She has performed in schools, correctional facilities and even STREET CORNERS!
Her calendar currently includes hosting Lyrical Lava at Scojos on 2nd Ave North Every Thursday evening and her monthly event she hosts at the Famous Kijijis Coffee House on Jefferson Street, in Nashville Tennessee.
As Founder of Ink Diva Productions, she takes on the diligent role of Director and Producer for her annual "Women Of Words" fundraiser, in which funds have been donated for 3 years to the YWCA Women Shelter. In addition to being nominated for the Southern Entertainment Awards, Simply Sil is a writer for a bi-monthly online magazine, NJIA, http://www.promiseland-productions.com/njiamagazinepage3.htm and she co-hosts a weekly online radio show entitled "Every Woman", focusing on the struggles, victories, strengths and the survival tactics of artists and how their art form has helped them throughout their journeys.
Simply Sil has been selected to debut on IndieFeed with her single *and still unreleased* spoken word piece "Her Name Was STORM", the heart breaking, yet, truth revealing story of a 3yrs old Katrina Survivor.
In addition, Simply Sil CD was chosen to be on rotation on www.vocalizedink.org starting May 2006. Tune in to check out her interview and listen to some of her pieces.
Simply Sil's work has been featured in many publications, including and not limited to "The Nashville RAGE", "The Scene", "The Tennessean" as well as online magazines and e-anthology publications. She is also the recepient of several Poetry awards and the winner of Slams and Spoken Word/Poetry competitions.
Simply Sil has had the great opportunity to share the stage with many great artists and has opened for several DEF Poetry Jams artists, including Triple Black, Black Ice, Red Storm, Georgia ME, Cocktails, Abyss and J-Ivy. Yet, "fame and notoriety" never changed this city girl and her message...there is NOTHING SIMPLE about her INK, she is indeed Made in Italy!
