Jorah LaFleur is a writer/performer who enjoys wearing many different hats. She finds herself on stage as a spoken word poet, event emcee, and actor. Offstage, she works with youth as a teaching artist. Each role engages her relentless curiosity about cultivating connection through creative communication.
​
Jorah is currently serving as the lead Writer in Residence at the 501(c)(3) nonprofit Wordcrafters in Eugene. She is committed to helping others experience the power of being seen/heard, and to promoting the arts as tools of social change, and community building.
​
For over a decade (2006 to 2019), she ran the Eugene Poetry Slam, which gifted her with a wealth of stage hosting experience, and a front row seat to the recitation of thousands of original poems. She is left forever convinced that: 1) Live performance is, literally, magical. 2) Being vulnerably honest with willing strangers is medicinal for everyone involved. 3) Pain tastes best when it is sprinkled with humor, liberally.
​
Jorah has been writing and performing for 25 years. Her newest poetry collection, COVIDIAN TIMES: in place sheltered, is available now. Click here to learn more...
