DAVID T. HARRIS

David T. Harris is a spoken-word artist, storyteller, and community voice whose creative work merges poetry, purpose, and spiritual clarity. Known for his grounded presence and his heart for people, David draws deeply from lived experience, faith, and the everyday narratives that shape local neighborhoods. His poetry doesn’t simply entertain—it restores perspective, provokes thought, and invites audiences into a journey of healing and self-awareness. A committed servant-leader, David uses his platform to uplift the stories that often go unheard. Through his engagement with the community—both online and in person—he has become a connector, bridge-builder, and encourager. His Facebook presence, including the “Community Conversations” group he interacts with, reflects his dedication to fostering spaces where people can share truth, grow together, and confront real-world issues with honesty and hope.

David’s work centers on transformation: transforming pain into purpose, transforming silence into voice, and transforming creativity into a tool for collective empowerment. Whether delivering a powerful spoken-word performance, offering counsel rooted in wisdom, or supporting community initiatives, David brings authenticity, compassion, and spiritual insight to everything he does. His mission is simple yet profound: to use his voice to honor the stories of his community, inspire people to walk boldly in their gifts, and spark conversations that lead to real change. Through poetry, mentorship, and intentional presence, David T. Harris continues to leave a meaningful imprint—one word, one story, and one life at a time.

DENNIS SPENCE

Ever since falling in love with the craft in high school, Dennis has been writing and performing on stages for over 20 years.  He enjoys painting pictures with words.  Poetry is therapy. Poetry is his way to honor and glorify God, as well as an outlet to escape the pressures and demands of society.  
From competing on Slam stages such as the International World Poetry Slam competition in Charlotte, NC to promoting local community events and open mics in Delaware for artists to reveal their truest forms of expression, Dennis is always yearning to work with other creatives. He looks forward to encouraging others to experience this journey with him to advocate for all arts, especially spoken word poetry.
Leading numerous Poetry Workshops with young people from Central Middle School to Dover High School, and up to Delaware State University, Dennis absolutely loves the
amazement of seeing creative magic manifest from the often overlooked youth of our, also often overlooked, communities.
