Guante: Level Up (My Autobiography as a Learner); Spoken-Word
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 жов 2014
- An assignment I did for a class I was taking; how do we engage with education, and with systems of education? How do we frame our critiques, and how do we envision something new? Just some questions to consider.

When my mind yearns for thought provoking words -- I dial in "Guante" -- I am never disappointed.
I think this may be my favorite piece you have done. Fantastic stuff dude. Especially the faux call back ending, brilliant.
This man is incredibly attractive. Both in his words and in his appearance. I wish I could write like this! You're fantastic, been watching your videos all evening.
Often in my life do I find myself bursting out, vomiting words, words of aspiration, words of wonder, words of excitement, anger, joy, collectively I always have something to say. I listen to your words as I watch your videos only to find myself captivated and speechless every single time... Thank you!
I wish I'd been that good at thriving in high school. I will say Guante saved my life and got me through. Level up. 🤟💚
Bruuuuh, I just got done with my BSW as a 40-year-old with some experience working within the behavioral health field. I lived my first life with the disease of addiction, so I've had my fill of life experiences as well. But this sentiment hits so hard for me right now because I watched the process of getting a degree simply degrade the heart of learning. This took me through some shit as I walked through and did what they asked me to do, shaking my head the whole time. By the end, I wanted to scream, "This is bullshit!"! I didn't expect to go to college, but now that I have, I abhor the institution. I feel I am on the precipice of the next level up. Good shit man, well said, and thank you.
Side note: Get your stuff back on Spotify pleeease.
thanks for sharing that; definitely relatable. oh and yeah, some stuff is going back up on spotify soon (some of the button poetry stuff is already back, and some music stuff will be back up this June (including a surprise that hasn't been officially announced yet); but thanks again.
I feel like I will be coming to this one every now and then. This is brilliant.
youre so inspriring. i really love your poem on small talk. i totally feel the same way . i wanna know about that person..not..oh how bout that weather. I just recently got into spoken word and i have had social anxiety for a long time but this really helps me get out there and to speak about really deep stuff and share my story
"When enough people tell you that you 'dodged a bullet,' you start to listen for gunshots." FACTS.
You have honed your craft into something spellbinding and beautiful.
This guy is a great poet!
Thank you, Guante, for blessing us with your artistry. I am inspired and grateful. 🙏
Social justice framed as a never ending power point presentation
The moment when the inspiration is so intense the spark ignights and Burns the Darkness within. Sometimes being lit Hurts like a Wicked B1tch.

Brilliant.
school was not set up for minds like mine, yet minds like mine were set up to teach those who teach schools👽👁

They say to be educated is to be uncomfortable funny how the most educated people are the most comfortable
curiosity is never complacent
"There must be some way out of here"
What now
The more you know....the more the WTF takes place
