What is Poetic Voice, and what does it have to do with leading an organization? Actor, musician and two-time national poetry slam champion Sekou Andrews would love to show you. Described by Forbes as “the de facto poet laureate of corporate America,” Sekou has inspired some of the world’s most influential brands, including Google, Viacom, Microsoft, Nike, Time Warner and the NBA. He has given private performances for Barack Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Maya Angelou, Quincy Jones and Hillary Clinton, and has shared the stage with Stevie Wonder, Jay-Z, Kendrick Lamar and Maroon 5. Weaving together storytelling, spoken-word poetry, theater and comedy, Sekou helps businesses and individuals find and give voice to their most powerful stories. A fearless entrepreneur and innovator, he is reinventing what poetry can be and do for people—transforming audiences of informed receivers into enrolled responders. Sekou does more than inspire us with his story; he inspires us with our story.
