About

My Father’s Daughter is an epic poem, accompanied by a live music score by Tim Motzer with video imagery created by Dejha Ti and Kipp Jarden, that tells Rucker’s painful but victorious survival story. The wounded life of her mother informs the daughter, creating the artist and woman Rucker is today.

“One of the reasons why her spoken word poetry and songs about urban reality are so effective is her delivery…. The message comes in under the defenses like a verbal grenade that rolls in under the fence and then explodes.” Sarah Jordan, Philly Mag
