1:1 Poetry Mentoring

Mentorship with me is not just about becoming a better poet.

It’s about becoming a better YOU.

I want to help you not only improve and succeed in your artistry but also unapologetically embrace your identity. Let’s do this.

Book a 30min Lightning Session at $55

My Lightning Sessions focus on one of the below areas of artistry. Following the session, you will receive an email with a detailed summary of what we discussed, next steps, and any resources that can help you take creative action.

• Performance Prep Session
  Fine tune one poem or put together a cohesive, engaging set of poems that flow—not just a string of random poems & bars.

  In this session, we’ll focus on refinement & delivery of one poem or which pieces to include in a setlist, how to introduce them, and how to bring your full self to the stage in between poems.

  Ideal for poets and performers who don’t want to just recite poems but need help with storytelling, stage presence, and connecting with the audience.

  
  

• Creative Mindset Block Session
  Whether it’s perfectionism, comparison, or the belief that your art isn’t valuable — we’ll dive into 1 mindset block that has been holding you back. I’ll share the real about my own journey wrestling with 1 of these same blocks and offer simple, practical ways to start shifting your mindset.

  We can explore things like:

  🎤 Believing your voice matters & embracing vulnerability in your work
  🧠 Erasing the lie that poetry isn’t a “real” career
  🎭 Finding peace with performance & stage anxiety
  👀 Shedding imposter syndrome & overthinking

  Freeing yourself from these mental blockages doesn’t just help you feel better — it helps you create better. Overall, this will take time, but in this session, I’ll help you take the first step toward becoming a more confident and bold artist.

  Ideal for poets and performers who are tired of being held back in their art by limiting beliefs and false narratives and ready to do it scared.

  
  

• Poetry Career Building Session

  Do you want to perform on bigger stages, get booked for events or turn your poetry into a full career? In this session, we’ll break down the beginning steps to becoming a professional spoken word artist who gets paid to perform, speak, and teach.

  Topics we can explore:

  📲 How to showcase your work online
  🎯 Determining your passions and target audience
  🎤 Finding the best events and spaces for your voice
  🤝 Using your network for opportunities

  🤔 Deciding what services you want to offer

  
  

  I’ll share my journey and give you next steps to start moving higher in your artist calling.

  Ideal for poets and performers who are ready to start or fine tune their poetry business and need help with confidently charging for their work, marketing themselves, and navigating the business side of their art.

• Contract Writing: Seamless Bookings Session

  Getting booked is dope and saying yes to a gig should feel exciting — not stressful. In this session, we’ll talk about how to write strong, straightforward contracts that give you peace of mind so you can focus on showing up fully as the artist.

  We’ll walk through what makes a solid contract including:

  💸 Payment Terms
  🎯 Cancellation & Rescheduling Policies
  🎤 Tech Rider & Communication Boundaries
  🤝 Unique Artist Needs

  We’ll also touch on real examples from my own bookings and tips for negotiating with confidence, plus learn how to look for red flags that let you know when to walk away. This session is all about protecting and honoring your art and your well-being.
