The poetry slam was not just a competition, but a celebration of expression. For anyone wrestling with emotions—whether joy, sadness, anger, or anything in between—channel those feelings through writing. You might discover an unexpected talent and perhaps find yourself inspired to share your poem at the next BSU poetry slam.
“My advice for young black entrepreneurs would be to not allow ‘black’, not allow that term or that word to identify you. Know who you are by your roots, but understand that we all bleed blood. We all bleed the same blood.”
