Dominic “Nerd” McDonald is a young Black Entrepreneur and Spoken Word artist from various cities in Los Angeles, California but currently living in the Southeast sector of Washington D.C. giving him the self-proclaimed name of the "Bi-Coastal Poetry Playboy". He has put his views on growing up in the inner city between two households, Hip Hop music, being a social outcast, college experiences, and more on paper and created everything from screen plays to magazine articles. His passion comes from serving the community, especially through the arts. By writing from his heart and what he sees and hears, he hopes to be a “change agent” to the unheard. He plans to travel spreading his creativity and influence to those who may receive his messages as well as manage and mentor others who decide to walk the same path. He was the winning Finalist of the 2022 D.C. Poet Project sponsored by Day Eight Publishing and hosts his own open mic called "Refresh Open Mic" here in the District.
