My  given name is Jazzmyne Stephenson. I was born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida—shaped by the legacy of William M. Raines, the only historically Black high school in Duval County—and later sharpened at Florida A&M University, where I deepened my purpose and found my voice, most literally, through Voices Poetry Group. Now based in Charlotte, NC, I’ve built a career around helping others tap into their own creativity and strength.

​

As a Black writer, I understand that our stories are not just important—they’re necessary. They push against erasure. They hold history. They make room for truth, even when it’s uncomfortable. I’ve spent the last 12+ years using poetry and performance to remind people—especially Black people—that their voices matter and that their stories deserve space.

​

The name Rubix reflects how I move through life: flexible, grounded, and always finding a way forward—no matter the challenge. My work lives at the intersection of art and advocacy. Over the past decade, I’ve poured my heart into the mic and into my community. Whether I’m leading spoken word workshops, mentoring young creatives, or captivating audiences from the stage, I aim to remind people that their story matters—and someone, somewhere needs to hear it.

​

I specialize in:

• Spoken Word Performances

• Creative Writing & Poetry Workshops (Youth + Adults)

• Motivational Speaking & Event Hosting

• Community Healing Through Writing

​

My goal is to empower others to stop surviving and start living, to release trauma instead of recycling it, and to understand that your starting point is not your final destination. Choosing life—choosing you—is never easy, but it’s always worth it. Whether you’re in Charlotte or across the globe, I’m ready to bring truth, passion, and presence to your space. Book me for your next event, workshop, or creative collaboration—and let’s remind people of the power in their story.

 

Until then remember, keep my favorite mantra with you:

​

"The writing is for your healing, the performance is for the people."​​
