Speak 2B Free's mission is simple. We aim to promote spoken word poetry (poetry that is written to be performed) and storytelling by providing spoken word poets and storytellers with a global platform to facilitate sharing and performance in both the virtual and actual world.

The mission, however, is really about empowerment, and the motivation behind every decision that Speak 2B Free makes is about facilitating that empowerment. Spoken word poetry and storytelling are mediums of self-expression that allow people to tell their stories in their own way. When people can use their own voices to tell their stories, they shape themselves and their identity in the eyes of others and in so doing become aware of their own personal power and their ability to free themselves. Speak2BFree wants to help people experience this freedom because as the amazing Martin Luther King said, "Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed."

Speak 2B Free seeks to grant the platform whereby artists can demand their freedom from whatever bonds hold them. Martin Luther King also said, "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." Through technology and social interaction, Speak 2B Free's mission is to provide a platform to say anything and, as a result, find the freedoms that we seek.
