a creative project

  • Pass the Mic is a brand new poetry initiative with one mission: to give people a voice.

    I am challenging you to think of someone you know that has an amazing story, a story that deserves to be heard. Think of someone in your life or someone you admire who is kind, hardworking, resilient, or brave, someone who is making our world a better place.

    I want to hear their story, to get to know them, and to write a poem that shares their story with the world.

  • “If you had the whole world’s attention for 5 minutes, what would you say?”

    I know what I would say. As a spoken word poet, I answer that question every time I step on a stage. I want to empower others to do the same. I’m passing my microphone as a poet to give a voice to those who otherwise wouldn’t take the stage.

    I want to work together to empower the important people in your life to share their triumphs, grieve their trials, and tell their stories.

    I’ve done similar projects where I’ve asked YOU for your stories but I’m inviting you to pass the mic to those who in your life and give them the gift of a 5-minute poem and the opportunity of a lifetime!
