Lynnette Johnson is a poet, a performing artist, a teaching artist, a voice actor and an event host. She has published four collections of poetry and her most recent book was also a one-woman show; Supreme. Using poetry, Lynnette discusses relationships, injustice, God, love and unlove with a little humor and plenty of vulnerability. She looks forward to continuing to use her art to uplift and connect.

Lynette joined poets Adonis Richards, D. Colin, El, Tarishi M.I.D.N.G.H.T. Shuler, and Courtney Symone for an afternoon of “Hope, Fire, and Revolution” that wrapped up three days of poetry and spoken word in Albany and Troy.
