DUKE AL

Spoken word artist and author DUKE AL explores the power of poetry to heal, connect, and support wellbeing.


Power of The Pen: OCD, Type 1 Diabetes and The Superpower of Words

An award-winning spoken word artist, author, and creative practitioner who brings his unique style of storytelling to the TEDxNHS stage. Early in life, he began by scribbling down his thoughts; those scribbles became poetry, and poetry became a form of self-therapy as he navigated life with OCD and type 1 diabetes. In his talk, DUKE AL will share the transformative power of poetry, inviting us to discover its ability to heal, connect, and even awaken the poet within.
