KEY TAKEAWAYS
I write about life and whatever is on my mind. My spoken word poetry is about empowering people. I’ve always been surrounded by the idea that if you want to do something then you should just go for it. It’s about getting young people ready for the real world, with their aspirations based on potential rather than circumstance. I help young people figure out who they are, what they want and how to get out there and get it. When talk to young people about my failures they engage with me and I can talk about my successes and what I want for them We want people to; Know yourself Know your vision Don’t chase your dreams, build them for yourself. Knowing yourself as a teenager is about knowing what you like. Start now and take small steps every day. In pursuit of our dreams, we forget to recognise and celebrate our achievements on the journey. Growing a business is about being resilient and it’s a beautiful journey when you don’t let it affect your heart. I’ve found my thing I’m a good communicator and I like working with an audience, performing – it’s me.
