This Week's Featured Poet: Aaron 'Just Aaron' Bell
Aaron, ‘Just Aaron’ Bell is a national spoken word artist, host and creator of the Hustle City Poetry Slam Team, based out of Saint Louis, Missouri. In 2022, he first explored and expressed his freedom through spoken word and since has traveled across the nation. His inspiration comes from young black men and their unhealthy relationship with their emotions. His goal is to get men to acknowledge their emotions and communicate them more effectively. Just Aaron has been featured at Living Legends at the Missouri History Museum where 7 Black Men were being acknowledged for doing positive things in the community. He has also presented poems at Guns Down Hoops Up, a gun violence prevention or intervention event curators by Mission Saint Louis, as well as the Stay Power Awards which acknowledged and encouraged members of the community to continue striving to be a positive influence in their community.
