If you are in a chapter that isn’t currently active and you want to see it revived — let us know. We’ll support you in getting it back up and running. If you are in a state or country that doesn’t yet have a local chapter and you feel called to launch one — let us know. We are ready to help you lead. Chapters are how we: • Build local opportunity • Create accountability • Develop leaders • Increase visibility • Strengthen the global PBN network This isn’t just a network. It's a structure. It's a movement. It's an ownership model. Drop your state or country below 👇 and/or message us directly if you’re ready to lead. Let’s keep building. 🌎✍🏾

Yesterday the pastor of global ministries at my church invited me to share poetry for one of the global meetings via zoom‼️

I just wrapped a LIVE feature on Good Morning Washington, and I couldn’t wait to share this moment with you. The segment focused on Valentine’s Day and how poetry adds real value to expressing love—especially when people struggle to find the right words for their significant other. We talked about how poetry isn’t just romantic, it’s intentional communication, emotional clarity, and connection. And yes—I proudly represented and shouted out the Poetry Business Institute and Network on air. This moment matters. It’s proof that: - Poetry belongs in mainstream conversations - Creative work has real-world application - What we’re building in PBN is being seen, heard, and respected You should be proud—because this wasn’t just my moment. It was a reflection of the ecosystem we’re building together. Poetry as value. Poetry as language. Poetry as business. On morning television. Let’s keep going.

It's the weekend! Use this time to jump into the course by clicking the classroom tab. Please don't stand by watching everyone else sharing wins and lessons from what they're learning. Turn that TV off, stop scrolling... and let's level up on our poetry journey! If you haven't started yet, start TODAY! If you've started, but stopped (for whatever reason), let's continue! If you've graduated and haven't put the education into action, now is the time! Are you ready?! Let's goooo!! Any questions???

Fam, I've finished Track 1, I am running & screaming this, because of the MASSIVE amount of knowledge & poetry business intensive gem filled lessons generously provided by my poetry business coach @Christoph Jenkins (YES SIR, I claim you & say that when I share about PBI & PBN). I have been offered an Artist Residency, and I will be teaching monthly workshops at The Mixxer Community Maker Space. The Executive Director asked could I create content to speak to the well-being of the artists in the creative community. I said yes ( because I am a Swiss army knife: Track 1 PBI! MY workshop series is titled "Rooted in Wellness" Thank you again @Christoph Jenkins🥹 and much appreciation to my PBI/PBN family for ALL the support and knowledge shared.
