Jamaica Osorio

<p>Daughter of Hawaiian Activist, historian and musician, Jon Osorio, Jamaica Heolimeleikalani Osorio grew up surrounded by passionate artist and activist and because of it she approaches her writing as a form of resistance and remembering. With the support of YouthSpeaks Hawaii Jamaica has honed her art to not only contribute to bringing Back-to-back International slam championships to the islands (<span class="text_exposed_show">2008-09) but also to win individual awards as well. Part of Jamaica&rsquo;s Journey as a slam poet is captured in HBO&rsquo;s 2008 Documentary series &ldquo;Brave New Voices.&rdquo; <br /> Currently Jamaica is finishing her final year at Stanford University while touring the world. One of her most memorable performances includes The First Poetry Jam in the White House where she performed an original piece Kumulipo for the First Family and many other distinguished guests. In the near future Jamaica hopes to attend law school in New York City and then return home to work for the People of Hawaii. </span></p>
