Sagirah “Siggy” Layne is an Accountant and poet/spoken word artist of Grenadian descent, from Brooklyn, NY. She started her accounting career as an auditor at Ernst & Young over 10 years ago in NY before moving to CA and switching to tax. She began performing spoken word over 6 years ago after moving to CA, although she’s been writing since she was a young girl. She’s now a bi-coastal girlie living, writing, and performing in both NY and CA. She’s performed for various organizations, twice at the Pan-African Film Festival Spoken Word Fest, and planned, produced, and performed her first two solo shows in 2022 & 2023. In April 2020, she released her debut poetry book “The Rise of the Dope Black Woman” under her pen name “Trust” and is currently working on book #2, set to be released in 2025.

When not working and writing, Siggy enjoys spending time with her loved ones, working out, listening to music, playing her piano, and knitting and crocheting. She is a life member and President of the Athens-Westmont Section of The National Council of Negro Women, Inc. She also enjoys traveling, especially back home to her family land, the beautiful Isle of Spice, Grenada.
