Buddy Wakefield is an American spoken word artist, a three-time poetry slam world champion, and the most toured performance poet in history. In this unbelievably powerful conversation, Vanessa and Dené talk to Buddy about the dangers of tranquil states of existence, how we can benefit from exploring our “scary thoughts,” and the victim, villain, and hero archetypes we’re being asked to question in our current climate.

You can find Buddy on Instagram @buddywakefield and you can find his newest book of prose and poetry “A Choir of Honest Killers,” at writebloody.com.
