Ontario’s first Poet Laureate, Scarborough native Randell Adjei, is a spoken word artist, speaker, arts practitioner and cultural curator.
He discovered his gift and love for poetry thanks to the support and inspiration from one of his Grade 8 teachers who introduced him to writing as a means for self-expression to deal with challenges he was facing. This unleashed his inner spirit and led him towards a path of personal enlightenment as a budding writer.
