As professionals, we're moving way from cell photos. We care how we represent ourselves, right? So for those of us who have some, drop them in the comments. For those of you who have yet to invest in professional photos of yourself, drop in the comments when you PLAN to get some taken? We all have family and friends who are photographers or at least aspiring to be photographers. Put a few dollars in their pocket and help them build their portfolio by shooting some shots of you. This is vital! I can't tell you how many times I've booked the dopest poets and I've had to work magic on their cell phone pics to make them look good on my flyer. Don't be that poet! "Show me what you got!"

I'm def using my PBI lessons. I made content videos at the Juneteenth Festival where my set was 15 minutes. Last year I couldn't stand for 15 minutes straight🥹🙌🏾. Last week I went to a poetry slam and made connections. This week I'm a featured storyteller at a new collective and I have 1 gig confirmed for July. I'm a Swiss army knife💥. I took July off from teaching my workshop to focus on gigs, conferences and content and I have confirmed the workshop dates in a new classroom.
