Hello, I'm Jayshawn Lee.

I'm Jayshawn Lee​,​ a poet and human rights advocate based in New York City. My poetry aims to reshape environments through community engagement​,​ imagination​,​ and global influence. My poetic endeavors have been showcased on the Today Show and in collaborations with Poet's House​,​ featured in exhibitions like the Climate Imaginarium. Dedicated to community building​,​ I established Write-Up Group​,​ a writers' collective in NYC that hosts free public workshops. When I'm not immersed in creative pursuits​,​ you'll likely find me tending to urban forestry or exploring the city's thrift stores.
