A DECADE+ OF STORYTELLING POWERED BY THE BEST WRITERS ON THE PLANET

BE PART OF THE LEGACY

TAMPA BAY • FEBRUARY 23-24 2026

This FINAL encore experience will be unlike any other. Because like everything we do, it's been "reimagined" from beginning to end. It's not a virtual or hybrid event. It's not a conference. It's not a seminar, a workshop, a meeting, or a symposium. And it's not your typical run-of-the-mill everyday event crammed with stages, keynote speeches, team-building exercises, PowerPoint presentations, and all the other conventional humdrum. Because it's up close & personal by design. Where conversation trumps presentation. And where authentic connection runs deep.

Playing Masterfully on Words; I Beat to My Own Drum, Come Join Me

I’m an ocean that waves.
I’m a kite that gets high.
I’m fire where there’s smoke.
I’m a spirit that’s free.
I’m security that guards.
I’m a guitar without strings.
I’m Spring who’s sprung.
I’m Summer who’s time.
I’m Autumn who leaves.
I’m Winter who’s cold.
I’m well, that’s read.
I’m a book without ends.
I’m a pen that inks.
I’m a ghost that writes.
I’m cover on a magazine.
I’m global without Anthologies.
I’m unapologetic, apologetically.
I’m ink to wells.
I’m a poem that’s prose.
I’m a “colored” gal pencil.
I’m sharp to pencils.
I’m a pal that pens.
I’m pain with gains.
I’m black to birds.
I’m fruit, that’s strange.
I’m Mrs. Brown that’s black.
I’m black whose Brown.
I’m a door of no return.
I’m African and American.

I’m a force to be reckoned with.
I’m a diamond that’s April.
I’m a Taurus; that’s bull!
I’m brick that housed.
I’m news that channels.
I’m safe with space.
I’m Gram and Ma.
I’m yin, and I’m yang.
I’m and engine that starts.
I’m a car that runs.
I’m a dream of a King.
I’m a mark man’s shot
I’m caged to birds.
I’m love that’s lost.
I’m trust that’s worthy.
I’m before that’s after.
I’m stress that free.
I’m up that’s down.

I’m in that’s out

I’m yes that “no!”
I’m marked as fragile.
I’m here that’s gone.
I’m lost that’s found.
I’m go that comes.
I’m a house that’s home.
I’m kith without kin.
I’m sung who sings.
I’m blues that sAngs.
I’m songs that’s soulful.
I’m water without fish.
I’m a man that fishes.
I’m sound in Doctrine.
I’m life to lines.
I’m His in His hands.
I’m seeds that sowed.
I’m mustered in faith.
I’m hemmed in purple garments.
I’m sewn in Genesis through Revelation.
I’m going to die to self.
I’m amazing that’s graced, Amen.
I’m a soul that mates.
I’m Nay that’s Nino’s.

I’m a mic that’s dropped.

Dedicated to: Hearts who beat (as one)

Author Notes: I ain’t nothin’ to be played with; the poem is unfinished and will constantly be added to…Stay tuned.
