Cocoa Info: Jasmine \\u201cCocoa Flo\\u201d Swanagan is an intelligent, unapologetic, and enlightened poetic voice, hailing from the small city of Owensboro, KY. Her small town roots mingled with her experience as a corporate professional lend themselves to make up her unique and incredible style. Lyrically, she is a roaring lioness when she serves due notice to patriarchy, body shaming, and colorism. Her ultimate goal is to empower audiences to think, act, and heal through her transparency and blatant truths. In alignment with her life vision, Cocoa is currently in the process of incorporating a nonprofit organization that supports and empowers black women in postsecondary education through mentorship. Cocoa Flo ranked 11th in the 2019 Individual World Poetry Slam, is a 2x Southern Fried Indie Finalist, as well as a Rustbelt Regional Poetry Slam Indie Finalist.
