We had the good fortune of connecting with Alexus Pittman and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Alexus, can you tell us more about your background and the role it’s played in shaping who you are today?
I am from Baltimore, MD. I grew up in a 90s and early 2000s hair salon environment. I got the inspiration to be as talented as I am by being around so many talented individuals and people who were bonafide hustlers. By seeing these people show up and be their true authentic selves it opened me up to the thought of doing things my way and this is how I became a business woman and artist.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
My art is my poetry, I have been writing poetry for such a long time. Since I was in elementary school I have been writing poetry. I have had entire books about my poetry. I have done different genres and everything so now I’m working on my different books and to have them published so that the world can enjoy them. When I write my poetry I envision my words coming to life!

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I would take them out downtown to do karaoke, then I would take them to Mo’s Seafood to get food and drinks. I would also want to do a simple picnic at federal hill nothing too serious just something that brings out the vibes.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I give my shout out to Andrea Brown aka NolaVon of Afro Gleam Productions. This woman is my big sister, mentor, my inspiration etc… She is an expert photographer and videographer and always goes above and beyond to show support and love. Always motivating me to do better and want more out of life. I literally can’t think of any other person deserving of having this shout out I hope my sis makes it far in every single thing that she does. Love you sis!
