Bios of this month's feature:
Alice started on stages performing original comedic music, poetry and comedy and now she almost has a degree, featured in Wollongong, performed in the BPS Grand slam 2015 + 2016, (also sort of won that lol) APS + SSF15 + SWF16 + SSF16, and someone let her write a book. 😌
Alice loves Pokemon and wine and poetry almost as much as she loves her big extended family and the beautiful community of poets and artists around her. (Also tells bad jokes and most photos of her include a cocktail)

Bio of this month's supporting act:
Aisha is a year 10 student at James Ruse Agricultural High School. She was introduced to the world of poetry slam only a year ago and it has diversified her view of everything around her. At one point, she found herself writing a poem about fruit! You won't find her without a book in her hand, living in two worlds. She is an avid football and tennis fan, GO THE BULLDOGS and human rights advocacy is a passion of which has always resided deeply within her.
