As co-founder of L'art Selah and an acclaimed poet, he leads workshops encouraging youth to transform inner criticisms into creative expression, helping them process emotions and find their voices.

Creative Approach and Experiences Offered
Our end goal is to empower your students to do more than familiarize themselves with creative writing but to gain confidence in using poetry as another channel of expression. Together, we will learn of its origins, discover the fundamentals behind producing it, and learn how poetry can heal, entertain, advocate, and assist us in expressing our deepest sentiments. Students will learn how to convey their ideas with power and poise. We value your input, and the program is designed to be a collaborative effort, with sessions that can be tailored to any themes you may be covering in the classroom. Our pace will advance according to your student's needs.(Poetry, Spoken Word, Rap, Writing Therapy)
