In this powerful episode, I sit down with the legendary Dwayne Morgan, an award-winning spoken word artist, author, and cultural curator who has been shaping Toronto’s creative landscape for over 30 years. From founding the Up From The Roots entertainment series to mentoring emerging Black talent, Dwayne’s impact runs deep.
We talk about what drives his pen, how he’s turned purpose into lifelong work, and why the heartbeat of a city often lives in its artists. This episode goes beyond poetry—into healing, hustle, identity, and the unapologetic power of Black expression.
Whether you’re an artist, a dreamer, or someone trying to live with more authenticity, this one will stir something in your soul.
