Biography Elijah M. Brown, 21 years old. I..m a poet, activist, promoter, songwriter, comedian, etc.I started writing poetry in the 7th grade. Listening to other poets was an inspiration to write my own poetry. As my talent flourishes, my poetry becomes more intense. It is no longer just for entertainment but a portal into the real life issues. Politics, poverty, crime and of course just a bit of sensuality is now what I am all about. I write for the youth, telling them to increase their self-esteem. I write about religion for self-assurance. Most of all, my poetry is for the BLACK WOMEN. I was raised in the nurturing bosom of a strong black woman and so I understand the importance of letting the sisters know I care. The next stepping stone was my performance art career. In 2005, I won my first Spoken Word competition and it opened new doors for me. Poetry then became my therapy, my stress reliever. I realized that I had to share this beauty with the rest of the world. It could no longer be therapeutic for me but for everyone. It was now my destiny to share this knowledge with adults and children alike. Especially the children: I performed at University High School, Newark Arts High School, Newark Union Avenue Middle School, Irvington FDU Rutgers University, NJCU, NJIT, Berkeley Elementary School, Bloomfield and the list goes on. Children need a positive role model in these trying times. From a business aspect, I am in the process of starting my own Publishing Company, finishing up on my third album of poetry and producing my Let It Flow Poetry Show series. This series allows individuals/artist to perform and be entertained at the same time. I have been blessed to have my poetry shows become a success. It has been a full year and it is still going strong. I have take time to thank all those who have supported me and my cause. We as Poets, try to touch souls and make differences in lives. So be yourself and never be afraid to express yourself. Don..t compromise you or your beliefs for anyone and if you don..t remember anything else that I..ve written, just remember that God loves you and he thinks you..re beautiful. One Love Elijah Brown (Stay Black Not Poor)
