Manage episode 434525562 series 2995298
Starting a nonprofit organization is a daunting task, and it can be easy to feel stuck when all the obstacles in the way of turning your passion into an organization lie before you. How can you transform a vision into a real nonprofit? How can you make a difference in your community without the funding that bigger organizations may have? Learn about how your nonprofit organization can play a role in supporting and strengthening your community, no matter how big or small your organization may be. On this episode, host Meghan Speer sits down with Lacroy Nixon to discuss his journey as a founder and director of a budding nonprofit organization that focuses on building up its community through the art of spoken word poetry.
Lacroy “Atlas” Nixon has been writing/performing spoken word poetry for 8 years. He is the founder of Slam Connection, a slam poetry-based organization in Williamsburg created to use poetry, slam poetry, and spoken word as a means for community action. He is also on the executive board for the Writers Guild of Virginia, is a member of the poetry society of Virginia, has a book available entitled “God and his humor”, and is an artist with the Hope Booth Movement (a world-changing initiative that toured across 19 cities in the United States in March 2022 and debuted in London, UK in October 2021). He is a 2 times back-to-back (2023 and 2024) Verb Benders grand slam champion and is on The Verb Benders slam poetry team which is currently ranked 3rd in the United States. In addition to poetry, he was also an educator through the Child Defense Fund Freedom School program for 2 years as a servant leader intern and a site coordinator. He loves Jesus and hopes to inspire people to be the best version of themselves through arts and self-expression.
