Tiriq Rashad

Tiriq Rashad is a poet, social worker, and storyteller whose work explores grief, resilience, and creative expression. A proud native of “Atlantic-Ville,” Tiriq has transformed the losses of his daughter, brother, and mother into poetry, music, and storytelling that uplifts and heals. His books, Shine Through Our Shade and A Diamond in God’s Dirt, trace his journey of survival, self-love, and purpose, while his new album Kiss My Art, currently under consideration for a Grammy (2025), blends spoken word, jazz, and hip-hop to reflect the full spectrum of human experience. Recognized for his courage and vision, Tiriq invites audiences to witness grief, embrace vulnerability, and discover the art that emerges from life’s hardest moments.
