In 2003, Desdamona was invited to perform on the Jenny Jones Show to an audience of young women, a show that was aired several times. Desdamona received the Minnesota Music Award for Best Spoken Word Artist in 2000, 2003, and again in 2004. She was a featured performer and workshop teacher at GirlFest Hawaii, a 10 day festival held in Spring, 2004, to raise domestic abuse awareness, and was named champion at Honolulu's biggest slam event First Thursdays.
