The Writing Process: Love, Boundaries & Growth with StoryTeller Gordon

What happens when a Black man decides vulnerability belongs in the story too?

This Sunday, the Poet Spotlight is hitting the virtual couch on Conversations with Coach LA, and we're going beyond the performance.

I'm sitting down with Darnnell Dorvil, aka Story Teller Gordon—spoken-word artist, author, curator, community advocate and Founder/Executive Director of FORM NYC—for a conversation about THE WRITING PROCESS: Love, Boundaries & Growth.

We're talking about the stories we write—and the stories we keep living.

🎤 Masculinity + vulnerability

🧠 Mental health + emotional expression

❤️ Love, heartbreak + relationships

🚧 Boundaries without guilt

✍🏾 Writing as reflection and creative expression

♠️ Betting on your vision before validation

🌱 Outgrowing old versions of yourself

🤝🏾 Creating healthier spaces for Black men
