May 26, 2025Pure Talent!
This young man came and showed out! His poise and talent is unmatched! He performed for the opening of my daughter’s wedding ceremony. He actually set the mood for “BLACK LOVE! We were all captivated!
I had guests (young and old) coming up to me all night long telling me how much they enjoyed Sleight the poet. I will be hiring him in the future for other events. I will be recommending him to family and friends. This young man is truly talented. He helped make my daughter’s wedding ceremony a beautiful success!
Keep doing what you were created to do!
Thank you

December 20, 2023Amazing and Compelling Poet
We booked Sleight to be a featured poet at our immersive art event and he surpassed expectations. Working with him is such a delight because he is professional, adaptable, relatable and knows how to keep the crowd engaged. His pieces were dynamic and provided a multitude of layers. He is insightful, clever, easy-going and an overall, really amazing guy!

What to expect
When you book me, you’re getting more than a poet — you’re getting a fully personalized spoken-word experience designed for your event.
Here’s what you and your audience can expect:
• A original or custom-written poem based on your story, relationship, or the purpose of your event
• A professional spoken-word performance delivered with emotion, warmth, and authenticity
• A meaningful moment that often becomes the highlight of the celebration
I take time to learn about you — whether it’s how a couple met, what makes someone special, or what you want your guests to feel — and I turn that into a poem that feels intimate, heartfelt, and unforgettable.
My performances are appropriate for weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, corporate events, and private celebrations, and can be delivered live or virtually depending on your needs.
You can expect:
• Clear communication
• On-time delivery
• And a performance that feels personal, not generic
The goal is simple: to give you and your guests a moment you’ll be talking about long after the event ends.
About
I’m Sleight the Poet, a spoken-word artist who creates and performs custom poetry for life’s most meaningful moments.

Every performance I deliver is written specifically for your event — no recycled poems, no generic lines — just your story, told beautifully.
People book me when they want more than entertainment… they want a moment they’ll remember forever.
