My name is Brittanii’ Batts. I am 26 years old. I am an alumnus of the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign and University of Illinois at Chicago. I am a biologist and an urban planner by trade. I am a lover of urban design, art, science, and music. I have always had a passion for singing and poetry. In 2012, I began my writing journey. Following, I have performed in jams, open mic sets, and artists sessions. My poems are stories based on my highs, lows, and personal experiences.
