An intro: I'm a poet and performer; a lot of my actual work is visiting schools, colleges, etc. to use art as a doorway into dialogue—about power, agency, counter-narrative masculinity, and beyond.

An evergreen connection between poetry and activism:

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.
We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."
