We're also working on Ras Baraka's inspirational, moving book of poetry that honors the struggles and triumphs of black women who love hard. And of course, our first release this year from NBA ballplayer, Etan Thomas. I'm so honored to be working with Etan. He's a great person and poet. One of the most genuine people I've met in a long time. He's dedication to poetry and young people is extraordinary. More Than An Athlete is going to make an incredible difference."

Care moore's soulful, raspy voice leads the drum & bass-rock-poetry band Detroit Read (pronounced "red" like the color).

As a recording artist, she was worked with platinum Columbia recording artist NaS on Nastradamus, Impulse recording artist Antonio Hart's Here I Stand, Big Cat rap artist PBT, and is featured on The Last Poets Tribute Album.
