Kylie Lyandra

(Rotterdam, 2004) is a young spoken word artist and medical student who wants to use her words to discuss important issues. She finds comfort and strength in writing and in its vulnerability, and decided to embark on her spoken word journey in 2022. Motivated by the importance of her words, she jumps from place to place to recite. From her depression and love, to growing up as a black girl: she brings it to the stage. Kylie was one of the eight finalists of the NK Poetry Slam 2023 (Netherlands' championship Poetry Slam).
