Rupi Kaur is a poet, artist, and performer. A breakout literary phenomenon and #1 New York Times Bestselling Author, Rupi Kaur wrote, illustrated, and self-published her first poetry collection, milk and honey in 2014.
Next came its artistic siblings the sun and her flowers and home body, both debuting at #1 on bestseller lists across the world. These collections have sold more than 11 million copies and have been translated into over 43 languages. Most recently in 2022- she released her 4th book Healing Through Words which is a journey of guided writing exercises to help the reader explore their creativity.
Rupi Kaur graces stages across the globe on sold-out world tours. These shows are a poetic theatrical experience interlaced with her own touch of stand-up. Her work touches on love, loss, trauma, healing, femininity, and migration. She feels most at home when creating art, performing her poetry onstage, and spending time with family and friends.
I grew up in Brampton and it’s where my love for poetry and performance began. Our local artists are incredibly talented and I’m thrilled to be an ambassador for the Brampton Arts Organization. We can all be doing more to uplift our local arts and culture so I hope you’ll join me in attending events, exploring the programs, and supporting our local artists. BAO is doing amazing work for our community and you can be involved today.
