Nick Courmon is an international spoken word artist, motivational speaker, educator, and storyteller from Greensboro, North Carolina, who transforms poetry into powerful, lived experiences for audiences across the country.

Since beginning his journey in 2009, Nick has built a reputation for delivering performances and talks that are both emotionally gripping and socially impactful. A graduate of the University of North Carolina at Pembroke with a B.A. in Political Science (Pre-Law), he is currently pursuing his M.A. in African American History at North Carolina Central University. In 2024, he was named Poet-in-Residence by the James City Historical Society—further solidifying his work at the intersection of art, history, and community.

Nick’s work extends far beyond the stage. As a passionate advocate for justice, he has served as a spokesperson in the campaign to free Billie Allen, who spent 27 years wrongfully incarcerated on federal death row before the historic 2024 commutations. This lived commitment to truth and justice deeply informs his storytelling, giving his work both urgency and authenticity.

Through poetry, speaking, and education, Nick addresses African American history, social justice, identity, and mental health. This allows for Nick to work together with audiences in cultivating spaces where everyone isn't just listening, but reflecting, connecting, and transforming.

His work has been featured in the Los Angeles Times, NBC’s Today, The Drew Barrymore Show, VICE News, Button Poetry, Narratively, and NPR. His writing has appeared in Teen Ink Magazine, Social Soundtrack, and BROAD Magazine.
Nick has performed and spoken on stages across the country, including the NAACP Image Awards Weekend, the National Black Theatre Festival, the North Carolina African American Cultural Celebration, and the Southern Fried Poetry Festival, where he placed 4th in both individual and team competition.

In addition to his performances, Nick has partnered with organizations and brands such as the NAACP, Beats by Dre, Microsoft, USA Today, The King Center, the Museum of Contemporary Art: North Miami, Democracy NC, the NC Black Alliance, and the Wounded Warrior Project—bringing storytelling, leadership, and cultural insight into a wide range of spaces.

Today, Nick continues to lead writing, performance, and storytelling workshops, while also offering speaking engagements, event hosting, and creative consultation for organizations seeking meaningful engagement and lasting impact.

Whether on stage, in the classroom, or in community, Nick Courmon’s work challenges audiences to feel deeply, think critically, and act intentionally.
