Camilla CatignasCamilla Catignas is a graduating 4th year Public Health Science major. Since she was little, Camilla always invested herself in art and music. She grew up playing the piano and violin, going on to play the clarinet and percussion instruments in drumline for her high school marching band. Nowadays, Camilla write songs to jam out on her ukulele. Somewhere along the way in college, Camilla realized that she enjoys expressing herself through spoken word poetry as well as singing and acting in musical theater. Her love for writing and performing spoken word began when she started listening to more Asian-American indie artists and femme rappers who inspired her to strive to do the same. Camilla always enjoyed writing out her thoughts and experiences in journals, so she began making art out of that. Camilla hopes to spread her passion for poetry and inspire others to not be afraid to get out of their comfort zone, pursue their own art and—most importantly—find their own voice.
