Hi all, I'm Tshombe Sekou. I’m a poet, veteran, and philosopher. I run a platform called Tshombeisms where I explore the intersection of identity and resilience. After decades of service, I’m now fully focused on my craft, with my latest works The Poet and Desert and Sea Memoir Series hitting shelves recently. I’m a big believer in the improvisational nature of expression, and I’m excited to bring that energy to this community. Great to be here! https://tshombeisms.com

Poets, we love the creativity and passion you bring to the Poetry Business Institute, but we want to kindly remind everyone that this space is for building the business side of poetry—not for sharing poems. We want to make sure the information is easily searchable and not overshadowed. Instead of posting poetry here, we encourage you to first: ✅ Protect Your Work – Copyright your poetry to safeguard your intellectual property before posting online. ✅ Document Your Writing Process – Keep track of your creative journey to strengthen your portfolio. ✅ Promote Strategically – Share your poetry on your social media platforms to grow your audience. Our goal is to keep this space focused on business strategies, answering burning questions, and growth so that your poetry doesn’t just get seen—it gets valued. Let’s stay aligned with our mission and help each other monetize our craft! Thank you for being part of this movement and thank you for understanding! 🚀💼✨
