Carlos Andrés Gómez
International Book Award-winning poet, two-time International Poetry Slam Champion, trained facilitator, and keynote speaker.
Carlos has performed and delivered keynotes at more than 1,500 colleges, universities, independent schools, and companies in 47 U.S. states and 28 across six countries, collaborated with John Legend on a project to counteract bullying, co-starred in the Spike Lee movie Inside Man with Denzel Washington, and drew a standing ovation at the Obama White House.
A former social worker and public school teacher, Carlos is the International Book Award-winning author of the poetry collection Fractures (selected by Pulitzer Prize winner and 19th U.S. Poet Laureate Natasha Trethewey as the winner of the Felix Pollak Prize) and the memoir Man Up: Reimagining Modern Manhood, released by Penguin Random House. A star of HBO’s Def Poetry Jam, you may recognize Carlos from his viral poems, “What Latino Looks Like,” “Where are you really from?” and others, which have garnered more than 12 million views online.
A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and the MFA Program for Writers at Warren Wilson College, Carlos was named 2021 Georgia Author of the Year by the Georgia Writers Association, Artist of the Year at the 2009 Promoting Outstanding Writers Awards, and a 2024 NACE Speaker of the Year nominee. He is a proud Colombian American and father of two.
What does Carlos typically do when he visits?
Carlos uses his expertise to craft uniquely-tailored programming centered around creating an environment characterized by care,
connection, respect, and a deep sense of community, while giving attendees actionable tools and strategies to live healthier and better lives.
Typically, his engagements include one or more of the following: an hour-long performance (of poetry, storytelling, and audience interaction) followed by a meet and greet, a keynote addressing a specified theme or topic, one of his acclaimed interactive workshops (see below for details), a class visit, or a professional development training (i.e. care and community, tools for mental and emotional wellness, counteracting burnout, leadership, and much more).
Often, Carlos does half-day and full-day (or multi-day) residencies that combine several of the aforementioned programming options, each of which can be geared toward students, staff, faculty, administrators, and beyond.
