Jessy James LaFleur, a nomad with conviction,
Spoken Word artist, rapper, activist, workshop host and entrepreneur who’s taken a million and one paths around the world over the last 18 years.
The East-Belgium poet has brought her music and spoken words to the stage in more than 30 countries and in 3 different languages (German, French, and English).
Dubbing herself a ‘Street Poet’, she travels with 'Constantine' and 'Theodore' – her two suitcases – from one city to another spreading the beauty of poetry...

ANGEPRANGERT! SPOKEN WORD was officially founded in Celle (Lower Saxony / Germany) in 2015 and has grown from a local youth project into an internationally recognised initiative in recent years.
The project was awarded the title
"KULTUR & KREATIVPILOTEN DEUTSCHLAND" in 2020
ANGEPRANGERT! SPOKEN WORD offers an innovative workshop-concept, that combines elements of 'Bauhaus', 'Street Poetry', 'Creative Writing' & 'Performance' and turns the different values of each genre into one magical coaching-experience, that takes a more integrated approach towards 'Spoken Word' & 'Theatre'.
