I'm M. A. Dennis, a writer, poet, and passionate human rights advocate. My art—written and spoken word—exists to entertain, educate, and incite action. My lived experiences with housing insecurity inform every line I write and every performance I give. I’ve spent years collaborating with health and housing organizations and serving on advisory boards to drive change. Through poetry, essays, and storytelling, I aim to bridge gaps between lived experience and academic research to advance health and housing outcomes. In all of this, I seek to entertain, educate, and mobilize audiences to take action. My voice is shaped by resilience and a commitment to dignity for people experiencing homelessness, and I’m dedicated to making housing a crucial determinant of health.
