Episode Five of IN the Beginning: The Spoken Word Podcast, GA ME shares a wild, behind-the-scenes story of how the Def Poetry cast was catfished throughout the tour. But on this particular night, the stakes were higher—because in the audience sat none other than the legendary Stevie Wonder.

Listen as GA ME recounts how she performed the poem N.I.G.G.O.D.S. with a different reverence, knowing the moment's weight. What does it mean to speak your truth when a musical icon bears witness? How does presence shift performance? This episode is a masterclass in artistry, resilience, and the unexpected turns of a poet's journey.

Available now on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube. Tune in. Bear witness. Be moved. @itbspokenwordpod | #GeorgiaME #SpokenWordPodcast #KeepersOfTheCulture @iamtashajones
