About Mark

The Voice Behind
Mark My Words

Spoken word poet. Trauma advocate. A man on a mission to help others heal through the power of storytelling and witness.

Where It All Began

"Some people find poetry. Some people need it."

Mark didn't begin writing because he wanted to be an artist. He began writing because someone he loved was hurting—and nobody around him knew how to hold it.

Moving from The Bahamas to Toronto, carrying the quiet weight that many Caribbean men are taught to carry, Mark discovered that words could become witness. That poetry could be a way of saying: I see you. You're not crazy. You're not alone.

Healing Through Witness

Mark's ultimate goal is simple but profound: to help people who carry trauma feel less alone. To give language to the wordless. To create spaces where healing can begin.

Whether through a poem that names what you couldn't, a performance that brings tears of recognition, or an article that offers a breath of fresh air—every word is written with one intention: healing, one honest line at a time.
