I believe in literary community and using my experience as an artist, community organizer, writer, and educator to help those who don’t have access to a burgeoning writing community or a college creative writing program.
For those who don’t know where to look for poetry, I’ll help them find it. For those who want to be equipped with the tools needed to learn on their own, I’ll give it to them.
Through my posts, YouTube Channel, Patreon, consulting, and outside services I continue to bring clarity to those searching for answers.
Let’s grow the writing community together.

I’m interested in the many threads that weave into the poet, constantly aiming to stitch the academic, spoken word, performance, and page facets which are all important to the poet’s development. My YouTube platform and Patreon page meets at the cross sections of the page, stage, and social media arts.
