GOAL: TO TRAVEL AROUND THE WORLD PROMOTING EDUCATION, THE ARTS, & CULTURE
The Documentary Trailer
AS SEEN ON: The Traveling Poet is a concept that was created when a man with a love for poetry decided to let go of everything he ever knew.
In 2009, he moved into his van in order to travel around the United States and inspire people to express and use communication as a tool to create peace within our communities. Convinced that words can change the world, he grabbed a camera and hit the road to shoot a documentary and write a book about his journey. The Traveling Poet goes to schools, shelters, hospitals, and poetry venues around the world to spread an inspirational message of education and inner peace.
The Traveling Poet is mostly known by his stage name, Apollo Poetry. He has performed at over 1,000 venues in a career that has stretched out over a decade and has taken him up and down more times than he'd like to share. But through the trials and tribulations, a man emerged with the resiliency for hardships, a passion for words, and a deep love for life.
*Update - The Traveling Poet was named as an official Peace Ambassador of 2009!

THE POET
Apollo Poetry got his fame in the music industry, where he grew a large following online. Apollo has been featured twice on MTV (including a documentary which was seen by over 20 million people), Vibe Magazine, Showtime at Apollo, Source Magazine, and the Sway & Tech Wake Up Show. In 2007, Apollo became the first poet to ever perform at the Billboard Awards. Since then, Apollo moved to Sedona, Arizona and began his spiritual quest to find the sole purpose of his soul's purpose. Through intense meditations, The Traveling Poet was born.
