Andre Sansbury Jr.

“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.
