RescuePoetix™ (she/her/ella/ellas), Poet, Advocate, Artist, Educator

“It’s breaking up and then finding the breakthrough in that breakup,” says RescuePoetix™ as she talks with hosts Michelle Bond and Joan Kanner about her podcast, discussing how breaking up with concepts and constructs can lead to profound insights and personal growth.

RescuePoetix™—the first Puerto Rican woman poet laureate emeritus of Jersey City—shares her journey as a bilingual, globally published performing poet, advocate, spoken word artist, and educator. A practiced advocate for herself and others, she inspires as an artist manager, and speaks about fair pay for creatives, the heavy toll of trauma on business decisions, and the evolution of her play, “By the Light of the Ghetto Moon.”

We recommend sitting down with a cortado and a buttered roll for this #crewjersey episode as they illustrate and unpack what it’s like to be underrepresented small business owners and artists, tackling topics like the value of art, fair compensation, and intergenerational trauma.

A conversation in the truest sense of the word, these women leverage personal stories to convey:

  • The realities of being a BIPOC artist entrepreneur
  • Concepts and family cultures that hold us back
  • Gritty details like term sheets, valuing time, and building community trust
  • Balancing the hustle of chasing opportunities with the wisdom of letting things unfold naturally
  • Rights and responsibilities of business leaders
  • Breaking cycles and trauma reactions to improve decision-making

Note: There's also a timely mention of Richard Simmons towards the end of this episode. While we had no way of knowing he would pass before we aired, the nod of recognition is still quite fitting. #restinpower
