Lady Sarkazym

Lady Sarkazym aka Tam Muhammad is a dynamic spoken word artist based in Philadelphia, with over 20 years of experience captivating audiences with her raw, unfiltered truth. Her poetry is a bold voice for Black women, navigating the emotional highs and lows of identity, resilience, love, rage, and healing. With each performance, she transforms the stage into a sanctuary where pain meets power, and every verse becomes a mirror reflecting the complexity of the Black woman’s experience.

Along her journey she has published three poetry books and recorded three spoken word albums, each a testament to her dedication to storytelling, empowerment, and the celebration of Black womanhood.
