Mx. Asher (they/them) is an emerging spoken word poet known for vulnerable storytelling exploring community, current events, emotions, and power.

Asher’s poetry reconciles their lived experience as a transgender, neurodivergent sexual assault survivor and former sex worker with their twenty-year career in government, elections, and advocacy.

This career includes advocacting for LGBTQIA+ rights, police reform, reparations, housing justice, broadband access, and environmental legislation, while incorporating anti-racism elements.

Born in West Palm Beach, Florida, their home community was subject to the harms detailed in the Epstein files. They also went on regular trail walks through the Everglades. And they have witnessed the majesty of many an alligator. As such, Asher is currently exploring regional concepts of identity, racism, classism, environmental damage, and exploitation.

Asher volunteers at LitArts RI, is a member of their Queer Writers Group, and organizes Rooted PVD, an Artist Community Care Open Mic.
