You get to the point where you realize a lot of things exist because we give them power to do so. The mind is an incredibly strong tool that can work for you or against you. The power of choice can open up new possibilities but you also have to be brave enough to believe in your self. Strong enough to disagree with your past and lastly, present enough to enjoy every moment we get to be here having this experience!

“To be a poet is a condition, not a profession.” — Robert Graves . . On Thursday, April 23rd, 2026, we gathered for Les Bons Mots: The Good Word Poetry Showcase, and oh what a night, what a night it was. . . After months and months of planning, the College Prep Gala Committee brought together another amazing fundraiser dedicated to supporting students in need of financial assistance. This was my second time collaborating with College Prep, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to build again. I look forward to what comes next. . . MAJOR THANKS to Amaela for the time, care, and hard work you poured into making this event possible. Your leadership helped shape the night into something memorable. . . BIG BIG THANKS + GRATITUDE to @wordslanger , Maleyah, and the entire @bambdcdc crew for your hospitality, generosity, and continued commitment to creating space for artists, students, and community to gather. Your support never goes unnoticed. . . GIGANTIC THANKS + LOVE to all the performers, Moe Ministry, Cael, Swirv, and Dr. Nzinga, for bringing your passion, truth, and narratives to a new and receptive audience. I hope the room left with the same respect and admiration for your voices that I carry with me. . . So we did it. Not because poetry is what we do. Poetry is what we carry. Poetry is what we answer to. Poetry is what we offer when the good word is needed most. . . @thecollegepreparatoryschool @bambdcdc @wordslanger @iammoniquemccoy @caelpoeta @squeeziest @jriceevents . . #collegeprep #oakland #Fundraiser #poetry #poetlaureate
