Known as the WordSmyth, there really isn’t a mode of creative communication Malik Yusef hasn’t conquered or contributed to. The avant-garde spoken word poet is a thoughtful deep thinker, always looking to connect on a human level with his audience. He shares with Jeanne about his thirst for life; that to become a visionary, you must always embrace the vision; the important difference between liberation and freedom; and why you have to be fearless to dig through the dirt to get to the good stuff.
