Our mission is to engage, educate and elevate the marginalized. Using the Arts of poetry, storytelling, spoken and written word, we turn pain into purpose through the power of the tongue.
.

"Pleasant words are as a honey comb,
sweet to the soul and health to the bone."  Prov. 16:24

At P.O.E.M.S. Spoken Word Ministries, we believe in the transformative power of words. Through inspiration-based spoken and written word workshops, mentoring, and platforms for creative expression, we empower individuals to find their voice, share their story, and inspire change.

We partner with schools, churches, youth organizations, and community centers to reach at-risk youth, underserved populations, and individuals seeking personal growth or reentry support. Our programs are rooted in spiritual guidance and creative empowerment, offering a safe space for healing, learning, and connection.

 

Why It Matters

Every voice deserves to be heard. Whether overcoming personal struggles, returning from incarceration, or seeking creative and spiritual growth, P.O.E.M.S. offers the tools and support to turn pain into purpose and words into plowshares.
