Cleo Wade's life story to date is a fascinating one, and she's only 28 years old. After growing up in a highly segregated and racist area of New Orleans, Cleo moved to New York, skipping college and living out of a tiny apartment which doubled as her art studio. Things changed for Cleo in 2014, when she posted to Instagram for the first time with a simple poem. This subsequently went viral, providing her with a unique platform to speak her words of wisdom to a younger generation. Fast forward four years, and Cleo is now a respected poet, artist, activist and writer, having built a personal brand and cult following around the world.
