'i want you to want me' is a curated spoken word performance of eight poems, most essentially about our longing. 'iwytwm' was the first spoken word performance held at North Star and sold out two weeks before its debut in September. it is expected to sell out again!

cat h. bradley (she/her) is a black-mixed race, queer earth child and healing artist born and raised on anishinaabe lands (ann arbor, mi.). her poetry and spoken word are created to be in service of her own and our collective liberation and return to love. her hope and intention is that her work has an awakening and reWilding effect—that sharing her own truth of spirit connects others with their own and sows seeds of desire in them to re-member and reclaim their deeper, more primal nature and free ways of being. cat is a weaver of embodiment, energy, flow, and soul love. she longs to make healing irresistible.
