About A Champion is a dreamer that refused to give up!
Rarely does the universe produce a talent such as author, and activist Monica Daye. Hailing from Durham, North Carolina this fearless woman, and fierce spit-fire poet touches audiences around the country with her biting poetry, soulful stories, and heartfelt commitment to the healing of women and community. As the founder of STAND UP SPEAK OUT, Monicas personal mission is to speak out and act out against sexual violence and domestic abuse.
Stand Up, Speak Out is a community outreach program dedicated to eradicating sexual assault and domestic violence. Through Monicas guidance and leadership, Stand Up, Speak Out has hosted such events as, Women Against Domestic Violence, Men Against Domestic Violence, candle-light vigils, panel discussions, and educational workshops.
Monicas awe-inspiring performances have left her audiences speechless and motivated to join her in ending violence against women. She has graced numerous stages, performing at NCCU, East Carolina University, Duke University, St. Augustine College, The Kings and Queens of Poetry, Duke University, and Markham Chapel. Ms. Daye has been featured on K97.5 and 103.9s special broadcast, Raising Awareness to the Community on HIV.
In 2005 this trailblazer started Shairis Open-Mic Poetry held at the Marvell Event Center in downtown Durham. Shairis provides a wonderful alternative to Durhams nightlife and boasts out-of-town artists and packed audiences every month. In January 2006 Monica partnered with Duke University to blast Shairis over the airwaves and now reaches audiences world-wide and all over the United States. Shairis Poetry Radio Show offers a variety of music from independent/underground artist that you may not necessary hear on commercial radio. The show features old school music, reggae, conscious hip-hop, R&B, and of course poetry/spoken word.
Daye was a four-time nominee for the National Underground Spoken Word Poetry Awards 2005 (N.U.S.P.A.) and 2006N.U.S.P.A Award Winner for the Community Orient Underground Poet.
Monicas debut collection of poetry entitled, And You Thought You Had Problems, was released in winter of 2003 by Author House Publishing in Indiana. The book chronicles the trials and tribulations of a young woman as she experiences the horrors of sexual assault and is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.
Monica's lastest project 7 Days of Freedom is pathway to the power of spiritual motivation. A passionate collection of poetry & music that wars against the troubles of this ram. This is a must have collectible for now and future generations.
Ms. Daye continues the tradition of women artists devoted to the revolution of mind, body, and spirit. She is a force to be reckoned with in a world of hesitators and continues to leave a lasting impression on all communities.
