Ty Davis, a 22-year old feminist and Oklahoma native is studying Broadcast Journalism at Langston University. She has represented Oklahoma City’s Red Dirt Poetry at Women of the World Poetry Slam in 2015 & 2016. Ty chipped her tooth taking the SAT so you know she’s serious about education. She works out roughly twice a year, and sleeps with a Scooby-Doo nightlight. Ty doesn’t drink coffee but writes poetry, so hipsters only sort of understand her. Ty doesn’t know how to swim, but she’s learned in life how not to drown. Her first chapbook Wordplay was released in 2016. Ty’s audio: https://soundcloud.com/
