In honor of Black History Month, we close season three of the Poetic Resurrection Podcast with Christoph Jenkins. Haiku poet and founder of The Poet Life, Christoph Jenkins and I discuss various subjects and learned how poets can have an income from being a poet. Great information for poets on this podcast episode.
Christoph Jenkins, Founder & CEO of The Poet Life, is a poet and entrepreneur. He began writing poetry in grade school and soon found it to be his passion. Running The Poet Life has led him to become an advocate in the community and a builder of the Poetry Industry. His company has three pillars that start with the letter “E”; EDUCATE, ENGAGE, ENTERTAIN. The Poet Life educates through their online university, Poet Life University where they teach poets how to start a poetry career. There is also a non-profit arm called Poet Life Academy where they teach students, K-12, how to express themselves through poetry.

Surround yourself with
People and things that grow you
Either grow or die
Imposter syndrome
Is attempting to play you
It can’t outcast you
If you are dreaming
Without a plan to fulfill
Said dream, keep dreaming
