Sidedoor: Things you’d never tell your parents

Iconoclastic poet Regie Cabico shares his secrets with Sidedoor. (Hope mom isn’t listening!)

Regie Cabico has been called the Lady Gaga of spoken word poetry—he’s outspoken, provocative, and iconoclastic. The son of Filipino immigrants, he was raised in rural Maryland, and Regie says he’ll never be “entirely American or entirely Filipino.” On stage he uses his poetry to explore identity, social issues, and (of course) love. Regie joins Sidedoor *in studio* for an exclusive live performance and even offers some poetic cooking tips from the annals of American history.
