POET
For many years, life’s troubling circumstances had a way of keeping Leve silent about the very issues that needed speaking about most. However, when Leve found spoken word poetry it quickly became an outlet that helped him meditate on and listen to the lessons that life had to teach him.
In 2011, Leve started publicly performing spoken word poetry. It was a life changing experience for him in a way that was surpassed only by his faith. Now Leve uses spoken word poetry as a means to continue both his healing and facilitating the healing of others. It has given him the platform and voice that was withheld from him for so much of his life. Leve has used poetry to take ownership over his story.
With his voice, his story, and his poetry Leve inspires empathy and generosity in those who are most equipped to help the suffering of others but haven't yet taken steps towards positive change. But, that's not all. Leve's poetry also speaks very clearly and powerfully to people who have been battered by fear, hopelessness, poverty, and abuse; providing them a message of hope and inspiration that helps them unlock their own voices to speak light into the darkness.
