Ro Deezy: Home
August 1 2008: Welcome to Ro Deezy Dot Com, the official online home of Rochell D. Hart-Burton better known as Ro Deezy.
Who is Ro Deezy? A world renowned, award-nominated author of six published books. A celebrated spoken word and recording artist who has shared the stage with legends ranging from Nikki Giovanni to The Roots and Dead Prez.. Ro Deezy is an activist and revolutionary whose performances have been solicited by organizations that range from NIKE, The Urban League, The National Coalition against Domestic Violence, Portland State University, Washington State University, Bennett University (NC), Sisters In Action for Power and many more. In July 2005, Ro Deezy received an award from the late Rosa Parks honoring her activism and Ro’s name was added to "The Wall of Tolerance" at the Civil Rights Memorial Center in Montgomery, Alabama.
In 2007, Ro Deezy’s latest masterpiece was released by way of "What Else Did You Think I Would Say? Poems About Politics, Passion, Resistance, and Love". The book is no doubt her most commanding poetical release. A passionate and candid collection of verse, What Else Did You Think I Would Say?, brings forth some of Rochell D. “Ro Deezy” Hart’s most influential scripts concerning politics, oppression, resistance, love, and struggle. With titles such as “Assata (She who struggles),” “Breath Is Hard to Come by Sometime,” “Justified Paranoia,” “Latina Lullaby,” “Some of Us Are Born Powerful,” “I Find God in Strange Places,” and a myriad of others, this collection stands alone as a contemporary and courageous voice in a world where passive silence is becoming a distressing trend. What Else Did You Think I Would Say? concludes with an encapsulation of Hart’s distinctive style as she speaks ingenuously and often comically about her perspective on matters ranging from cultural nationalism to self-defense. What Else Did You Think I Would Say? will satisfy long-standing Ro Deezy enthusiasts while effortlessly earning the respect and appreciation of new readers.
Presently, (2008) Ro Deezy is writing the official biography of a mega-music producer and DJ who is well known throughout the country, has appeared on BET's Rap City / In The Basement, and who has worked with stars ranging from NBA legend Michael Jordan to Hip-Hop Mogul Jay-Z. More details about this exciting collaboration coming soon.
