Exciting news—I've just launched my fundraiser to represent the US in Africa as a national poetry slam champion! 🌍✨ This is a huge step for me, not just as a personal achievement but to inspire youth in my city that words can open global doors. Your support will help cover my travel and expenses so I can bring the trophy home and show what’s possible when community believes in art and ambition.Please consider sharing or donating if this cause speaks to you—every bit helps me get closer to making this dream a reality. Thank you for being part of this journey! 🙏 #PoetryInMotion #GlobalStage #spokenword #battlepoetThe Link is in my Bio by @blackchakra88

Traveled to Baltimore from Orlando specifically for @charmcityslam - and it was worth every mile.⁠⁠One of the highlights was seeing @blackchakra88 perform live at @chesapeakeshakespearecompany, hosted by @saysomethingpoet.⁠⁠Communities like this are a reminder that art brings people together everywhere—and that's exactly what we're striving to create at @newpeacemondaysorlando.⁠⁠🎥 Captured by @orangeismedia⁠⁠#CharmCitySlam #Baltimore #SpokenWord #Poetry #NewPeaceMondays #OrangeIsMedia by @blackchakra88
