The combination of life experiences, the eloquent use of words and the ability to capture the mind of another human being is a gift that allows for the ultimate human connection. Kim Seabrook is a woman that possess these unique traits and has been able to allow her life experiences to propel her journey and impact the world in poetry, literature and education. Hailing from The Bronx, the birthplace of Hip-Hop, Kim’s life has been filled with instances and circumstances that touch every possible human emotion.
As a woman who has been a victim of sexual abuse, domestic violence, addiction, heartbreak, in addition to the challenges of motherhood, she has triumphed by not only overcoming those things, but she has also served as an inspiration to many people in the world as a living example of not allowing your current situation to define you or dictate your future. The power of the pen, the depth of the mind, and the spirit of her soul have provided her a platform through the means of spoken word and literature to create soundtracks and published pieces that have touched people in unique ways.
As an educator, Kim has written books and led and collaborated with other creatives to conduct workshops that have placed an emphasis on different aspects of real life, from education to bullying, artistic creativity, drug use, incarceration, and the importance of positivity in everyday life. Her latest release “Hip-Hop City – Where Every Beat Tells A Story,” is a children’s rhyme book that introduces young readers to the five essential elements of hip hop, which are MCing, DJing, breakdacning, graffiti art and beatboxing. This book also takes a dive into hip-hop fashion.
As a woman that was born and raised in the birthplace of hip-hop, Kim’s life journey has uniquely encapsulated the heart of her borough, while also paving a pathway for her mark to be made across the world. Kim recently talked to ESHE about her life journey and her career as a poet, author and educator.
