    Jamal Parker – F

    By September 6, 2021 |

    Jamal Parker is a writer, poet, teaching artist, performer and ever-evolving creative. His work explores race, masculinity, mental health, spirituality, and more while also platforming Black resilience and joy.

     

    Graduating from Temple University with a degree in African-American Studies, Jamal is a two-time TEDx Speaker / Performer and 2017 Philly Pigeon Grand Slam Champion. He’s also a two-time International Poetry Slam Champion — formerly winning both Brave New Voices (2015) and the College Union Poetry Slam Invitational (2016).

     

    A newfound copywriter amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, his first freelance clients were Ciara and Russell Wilson to write the anthem for their company, The House of LR&C. He has since written and worked on campaigns for the likes of AT&T, AT&T Dream in Black, the 2021 NBA & Farm Sponsorship, Kaiser Permanente, and more at Translation LLC.

     

    He is a graduate of the One Club For Creativity’s ONE School Program, where he graduated with honors as one of the top 3 students in the east coast. He was featured as a guest speaker at the 2020 Most Contagious Conference, and was named a finalist for the One Club’s first ever international ‘COLORFUL’ portfolio competition.

     

    He has been featured in Adweek, Journeys, WHHY and has had his poetry / writing appear in Forbes, Dryland Lit Press, L’Éphémère Review, and more.

     

    While all this is cool, nothing matters more to him than his family and his homies, superhero movies, anime and his Nintendo Switch.
