Melanin Madam: EARL THE POET

    Earlyssa Cooper best known as “Earl The Poet”,  was born and raised in the middle of Houston Texas. She is currently a sophomore in college at  Huston Tillotson University (which is a HBCU) . Earl serves as a cheerleader, Rambassador, and a Mentor. She has touched the hearts of hundreds through her poetry and her motivational post. Earlyssa wants to spend her life  motivating and inspiring people around her through her poetry , which she shares her testimony...

  I met Earl back in 2017 at The JCS scholarship Gala. Where she performed one of my favorite pieces of hers called “ reminiscing” , which hit home for a lot of us young adults. She graced the stage so effortlessly and grasped the attention of everyone in the room. I couldn’t help but think , “Wow! This girl is amazing”. From then  on our friendship began. Earlyssa is very charismatic. I believe her uplifting personality will spark the minds and hearts of others for a lifetime.

Earl The Poet is a very confident and intriguing young black woman. Because of that, i wanted to do a mini interview with her so people that are intrigued , can get a little more insight about Earlyssa...
