What are our stories without the ability to share them? Speak 2B Free is the place where spoken word poets, slam poets and storytellers come to connect with their audience and each other. Here, artists share their stories as well as collaborate on art, process and the unique struggles of a contemporary writer and performer.

Speak 2B Free is, at its heart, a social networking site that brings newly beginning and acclaimed spoken word poets, slam poets and storytellers together. On the site, these individuals work to market and promote themselves and each other through supportive process and technological solutions such as discussion boards, electronic portfolios and a centralized resource for poets, globally. Speak 2B Free works to facilitate this promotion and collaboration through global focus and targeted technology.

Global Focus: Unlike many localized poetry communities that, while essential to coordinating local efforts and providing resources, limit the reach of both promotion and collaboration, Speak 2B Free reaches globally to allow storytellers, spoken word poets and slam poets from across the world to share information, techniques, tips and resources.

Targeted Technology: Our technology allows you to create a personalized URL with your electronic portfolio, which can include print as well as audio and visual resources. Not only can your supporters have access to your work updates, you can make it easy for them to know when and where you're performing or reading, through our events and venues profile.

The internet has made it possible to take our stories and share them across the globe, but the internet has also remained a fragmented source for most of the poetry and spoken word community. Speak 2B Free seeks to unify the diverse world of poets, spoken word artists and storytellers so that we all can benefit from each other's knowledge and experiences. Join us, and begin sharing your stories.
