Sekou Andrews X IN-Q: Challenging the Grammys as A Spoken Artist

  • Summary

  • In this episode of Inquire Within, I’m joined by Sekou. Sekou is the creator of Poetic Voice, a new, cutting-edge speaking category that seamlessly fuses inspirational speaking with spoken word poetry to make messages more moving and memorable. Plus, he is a also two-time national poetry slam champion, entrepreneur, and award-winning poetic voice.    Throughout the episode, Sekou shares the frustrations of spoken word artists who are trying to make a living in their category of art. Too often, they are robbed of their awards in their own categories by players who shouldn’t be in it, such as Michelle Obama. Throughout our conversation together, Sekou talks about the work he does to kick down new doors in the industry, so more spoken word poets can gain access to the industry and make a living. Towards the end of our conversation, he also talks about the difference between compromise and sacrifice as an artist.   And as always, with every episode, we will be sharing a journaling question inspired by the conversation to encourage and inspire you to inquire within, so be sure to listen to the full episode to not miss out.    To learn more about Sekou:   Website: sekouandrews.com  Instagram: @sekouworld
