About the Poets:

Juan Amador is an actor and spoken-word artist from South Central LA. He’s excited to release his first poetry book titled Pimping My Trauma with Riots of Roses Publishing. He cannot wait to see it in everyone's hands in Fall 2024.

Engineer by day, clown by night, Mr. Chai Tea embodies the spirit of chaos. His unique voice blends vulnerability and laughter in comedy and poetry, sharing stories on mics throughout LA. He released his first book, HOW CHAI TEA IS MADE, available now. You can find him at your local boba shop or board gaming with friends.
