FREETHOUGHT: THE BLACK VERB
WHO AM I?
As far back as I can remember... I have always been a writer.
Essays, Scripts, Poems, Bad jokes. I tried it all. Why not a novel?
After several starts and stops - setbacks and redirections - I had to start over and reassess my path.
Everything changed when I was introduced to spoken word poetry. I was captivated by the realization that a powerful story could be conveyed in three minutes or less. I briefly competed in the SLAM poetry scene, where I discovered the thrill of performance and connection through words. A passion for youth engagement emerged, and I began taking poetry teams to Brave New Voices competitions set on nurturing the next generation of writers.
Life, as it often does, threw me some curveballs. I became a father and a husband. Lost some people, met some others, all the while undertaking a journey filled with life.
Now, I find myself back at the keyboard ready to share the stories that have been simmering within me, and I can’t wait to see where this renewed passion leads me.
I hope you join me.
THE AMBITION
To work with talented and passionate authors/artists from all over the world. I am dedicated to telling stories that inspire, educate, and entertain.
I know there is strength in the differences between us. I know there is comfort where we overlap.
