Poet, communicator, educator, SEDRICK SPILLERS is committed to self awareness and intention. His studies in literature, poetry, psychology, and philosophy have equipped him with a nuanced understanding of the history of human thought, emotion, and experience. Able to oscillate between the universal and the personal, he makes key principles relevant. It's this faculty to tangibly ground otherwise abstract concepts that makes him so valuable.
