Ebony Bradley, artistically known as Ebony "tha GODDESS", is a 33-year-old creative in many facets. This Spoken Word Artist, Poet, Singer, Author, Podcaster, and Plus Size Influencer was born and raised in Moss Point, MS where she currently resides. Ebony is widely known for her passionate and thought-provoking messages while taking you on an experience as she reflects on her past self. She uses a pen and pad to expose her heart, spreading "tha GODDESS" experience to the world, and leaving others in awe of her transparency.
"The Moon of Moss Point" began her journey as a Spoken Word Artist shortly after witnessing the GODDESS energy of Mobile, AL's prodigal daughter, Lady Tess, following her first open mic performance at Da Wall Poetry in Gulfport, MS on October 6, 2018. Later, she received her first feature opportunity at Da Wall Poetry on June 1, 2019. Seeing the poetic powerhouse that is Tess, evoked something within "tha GODDESS" to dig deeper, finding her voice and birthing her album entitled Ebony Speaks. This poetry album was done in dedication of the late Lady Tess and the lasting impression she's made on the artist. Ebony Speaks was produced by Halo City Entertainment and available for purchase at bandcamp.com.
In 2023, Ebony "tha GODDESS" released her first book of poetry in commemoration of her 5-year poetic anniversary. Ebony self-published through Amazon in less than 60 days and now uses her wisdom to empower other artists looking to self-publish. Her book is entitled Worth the Weight and includes work written over the past 5 years. Worth the Weight acknowledges her past while celebrating her perseverance into the present. "After everything I've been through, I look back and reflect on it all. I've realized that it was all worth the weight for the woman I've become. I acknowledge my past and hold space for that, but I see now how it's pushed me into my purpose."
Over the past 5 years, "The Moon of Moss Point" has been spreading the GODDESS Experience all over the South, performing on stages throughout Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and Louisiana. She's a member of Black On Black Rhyme's Step2DaMic Poetry Troupe and THE 20/20 Podcast, LLC both of Mobile, AL. Also, she's gained poetic family by way of Clubhouse in One Love Poetry Series, IAM Voice of the Voiceless, The Lost Tribe of Poets, The Society of Poets, Powerhouse Poets, Songs in the Key of Poetry, and The HoneyDripper Collective.
