About Me

I'm a poet, a minister, an Ambassador for Empowerment. I unapologetically teach and preach the Word of God, whether it is in Bible study on Friday nights, check out www.brushfirestudies.com, or through my poetry, see www.philthespokenword.com, or encouraging people to take care of their health through my health empowerment business (www.yesicoach.com). Yeah, it's a lot, i know, but they all tie in to the same thing, communicating EMPOWERMENT!
