“Black Genius is the everyday brilliance found in how we survive, dream, create, and build together.”
Poet, teaching artist, and cultural organizer Andre Sansbury Jr. found himself inside a circle of shared words. Pull Up Poet invites you into one, too. Listen to a poem. Offer your own. Or create something right here that didn’t exist before you arrived. This stage is rooted in Black oral tradition—call-and-response, communal gathering, the genius of a story told out loud. Andre built this circle because every voice carries something luminous.
