“Poets are souls at war with words from battles waged within.”
-Atticus
Absolutely LOVING these conversations with CREATIVES (and I hope you are too)! I am so excited to welcome award-winning poet, In-Q, to the T&T Mic! In-Q is an award-winning poet (once again:), a multi-platinum song writer, best-selling author, AND he was named to Oprah’s SuperSoul 100 list of the world’s most influential thought leaders. They say it’s not what you say, but how you say it… well In-Q is here to prove that it’s both. We have an enlightening conversation about his creative journey, working it out within, vulnerability, hip hop, poetry, entrepreneurism, life, and of course, the spoken word. This is one of my most favorite conversations thus far- deep thought sprinkled with quick humor- the perfect balance of head and heart… aka Turmeric & Tequila. Aren’t we all seeking that? Art = unity. Stay to the end of the convo where In-Q lays down one of his poems and hit us with the truth: a cocktail of fresh air, enlightenment, and a dash of realistic optimism. Enjoy, cheers.
Highlights:
In question. Questioning a better way. Creativity and the creative process. The grind and chasing the dream. Vulnerability and Will Smith. Parents not understating kids, and the process to becoming a parent? Generational narrative, the system, and balance. Awareness, art, constant growth. The Next generation.
IN-Q is an award-winning poet, multi-platinum songwriter, and the best-selling author of Inquire Within. His groundbreaking achievements include being named to Oprah’s SuperSoul 100 list of the world’s most influential thought leaders, being the first spoken word artist to perform with Cirque du Soleil, and being featured on A&E, ESPN, and HBO’s Def Poetry Jam. He’s inspired countless audiences around the world through his performances and storytelling workshops. Many of his recent poetry videos have gone viral with over 70 million views combined, and his stand-up poetry special, IN-Q – Live at the Ace Theatre, is now streaming exclusively on Amazon Prime Video.
