Influences: Poetic Empowerment is a combination of TD Jakes, Maya Angelou, Yolanda Adams, CeCe Winans and Les Brown. TD Jakes because of the way he takes real life situations and combine them with the Word of God and makes them available to be a blessing to the world. Maya Angelou because of her poetic creativity and the sincerity of her writings. Yolanda Adams because of the powerful anointing that God has placed on her life and the way it shows up in her ministry of music; and the way that all of her songs are empowering... she totally allows God to use her to minister music that heals and delivers! CeCe Winans because of the way she humbly surrenders all praise, glory, and honor to God in all that she does and it shows up in her finished work. Les Brown because of the way he motivates individuals to live their dreams and to realize their full potential. Poetic empowerment is all of that and more!
Sounds Like: Poetry that ministers through the Spoken Word! You will laugh and cry as you listen to the fun, yet empowering words of Poetic Empowerment. The psaltery music has an anointed jazzy feel that perfectly fits the rhythm and mood of each inspirational message. "That poem, [I Forgive You] just resonated with my spirit!" --Les Brown
