Marcus Pierre Massasoit Community College 

I started writing as a way to vent my thoughts and emotions on paper. It became a therapeutic experience for me to write poetry and I believe its only right to share that experience with others. My poetry is a combination of motivational messages, relatable topics & biblical references. The purpose of my poetry is to inspire people to be the best version of themselves and to also connect with them on a deep and personal level.

I've performed at Massasoit Mic Drop shows.
