Justice Davis is a queer spoken word poet and young professional from Kansas City, MO. Justice started writing at a young age and was introduced to the gift of public speaking growing up in church. Her first poetry performance was at the age of 15 and she found her love for spoken word after winning second place at a slam competition in Shawnee Mission, KS. Her faith would be the cornerstone of her writing, often discussing spirituality and family.

Justice attended Kansas State University and received her degree in Business Marketing and Communications. Her experience in leadership and activism on campus transformed her writing to focus on the Black plight in America and the implications of systemic racism with a tone of hope and overcoming. Her most notable moments in college were receiving accolades from civil rights leader Harry Belafonte for her poetry and performing as the commencement speaker for the College of Business.

Upon graduation, Justice entered Corporate America and moved to Allentown, PA, to work for a Fortune 500 company. In 2018, Justice founded Soul Sessions Lehigh Valley, a monthly performance series for young local talent, with the purpose of fostering a community that honors the performing arts and transforms pain into passionate expression. The space unified 100-150 people regularly for nearly two years. In her corporate work, Justice thrives as a leader for inclusion and diversity for her organization in addition to her conventional work responsibilities. She leverages her passion and gift of public speaking to continue uplifting the voices of underrepresented groups.

Today, Justice lives in Long Beach, CA, and continues her work as a corporate professional and a spoken word poet. Justice prides herself in connecting with others and bringing poetry to non-traditional spaces. Her poetry has been featured at a hosts of community events, churches, companies, non-for-profit organizations, universities, and schools all over the country.
