In celebration of National Poetry Month, this special edition will feature:

JAH SMALLS — Performance Poet • Host • Creative Visionary

Jah Smalls is a dynamic performance poet and cultural storyteller whose voice has become a force in the Southeast’s spoken word and literary arts scene. Based in Charlotte, NC, Jah captivates audiences with a style that blends emotional intensity, narrative depth, and an unmistakable stage presence rooted in both Brooklyn grit and Southern soul.

For over a decade, Jah has traveled nationwide as a headliner, host, and featured artist with Grannae’s Boyz LLC, delivering performances that are part ceremony, part conversation, and part rhythmic explosion. His live work is known for its cinematic imagery, sharp improvisational energy, and the kind of emotional resonance that lingers long after he leaves the stage.

A respected poetry slam coach and workshop leader, Jah has guided emerging writers to regional and national stages, shaping the next generation of poetic voices through strategic coaching, creative development, and performance training. He is also the founder and director of wordsRmagic, a nonprofit dedicated to empowering writers through workshops, publishing opportunities, and community arts programming.
