Episode 211: Inquire Within and Sharing Your Story – with Famous Poet In-Q

Welcome to this episode of Bucci Radio!

Everyone is going through something. You never know how something you say or do affects someone. As humans, sometimes it’s easy to forget that we are never alone in our experience, even though we can often feel that way. Sharing our vulnerability and stories is a way that we can connect. Every single one of us has the power to share our story with the platforms we have available today.

Today’s guest is an award-winning poet, songwriter, National Slam Poetry Champion, teacher of storytelling, and soulful leader known as In-Q.  In today’s episode, we discuss how poetry and artistry activates people into taking action and feeling like they are not alone, how vulnerability connects us as humans, consumerism and outside validation, sharing from a place of your own truth, and being present with gratitude.
