Partners in Poetry: 2 Pros Who Make Team Philadelphia Look Real Good (VIDEOS)

Have you been watching Russell Simmons’ “Brave New World” on HBO? If you have, you would have seen great performances from our Team Philadelphia .

Highlighted this week on the show were moving performances from Alysia Harris’ (C’10, The Excelano Project) and Josh Bennett (C’10, The Excelano Project, Brave New Voices 2008 slam champion).

Watch Alysia’s “That Girl” piece above … it’s yet another performance of hers that will give you the chills!

If that’s not moving enough, then watch Josh’s “Carbon Copy” piece above where he honors his love for his father directly in front of him.

On a related note, it turns out that Alysia and Josh met in their high school days at a diversity conference where they were both performing spoken word (and even dated for a bit!).

While the show has only aired 2 episodes, from the site, it looks like we should be expecting another performance from Aysha El Shamayleh (C’10, The Excelano Project) sometime soon.

Good luck Team Philadelphia!
