Catzie Vilayphonh is an award-winning spoken word poet, writer and performance artists with over 10 years of experience. As 1/2 of the group Yellow Rage, she became one of the first Asian American females to appear on HBO's Def Poetry Jam. Through her work, she explores storytelling as a healing medium and addresses issues that confront Asian Americans, especially racial stereotypes, cultural dualities and immigrant/refugee concerns often drawing from personal narrative. Her current project "Laos in the House" aims to bring exposure to Lao American artists while inspiring community members to share their stories. She is a recipient of this year's Leeway Art and Change Grant, a 2012 Knight Arts Challenge Award and a 2012 Creative Capital finalist.
