Defined by Poetry.Hype | Season 3: Goddess Donya – “Moon Struck” | Poetry, Love & Nostalgia

Welcome to Season 3 of Defined by Poetry.Hype — where poets break down the stories behind their most powerful works. In this episode, Goddess Donya, a Los Angeles-born poet, performs her nostalgic and heartfelt poem “Moon Struck.” 🌙 Inspired by the love, humor, and unity of 90s and early 2000s sitcoms like Martin, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and My Wife and Kids, this poem paints a picture of the kind of love that’s real, fun, and rooted in respect. Through her words, Goddess Donya celebrates authenticity, emotional maturity, and connection — while offering encouragement to anyone who’s felt unseen or disheartened by modern love. She also shares her creative journey, her “green flags” in relationships, and the power of poetry as liberation and self-expression. 🎙 Featured Poem: “Moon Struck” by Goddess Donya 📍 Filmed in Phoenix, Arizona 🎥 Produced by: Poetry.Hype x I Am Root Co. ✨ Series Concept: Inspired by Genius Verified, Defined by Poetry.Hype gives poets a space to share the stories behind the verses that define them. ⏱ Chapters 00:00:25 – 03:31 🌙 “Moon Struck” (Poem Performance & Inspiration) 03:31 – 05:23 💕 Favorite Sitcom Couple & Message to Her Audience 05:23 – 07:23 💚 Green Flags, Love, and Relationship Reflections 07:23 – 10:24 ✍️ How Poetry Became Her Voice 10:24 – 11:49 🚀 Future Goals, Shoutouts & Closing Message 💡 Key Themes: Love, connection, and nostalgia Emotional maturity & authentic relationships Empowerment and self-expression through art Honoring culture and community through creativity Encouragement for women finding their voice 🎥 About the Series: Defined by Poetry.Hype is a production of Poetry.Hype, under the I Am Root Co. brand.
