About me
Jamey Williams (He/Him) has been teaching spoken word poetry workshops in K–12 schools since 2016, which is why most people know him as an educator. However, Jamey is also a community organizer and internationally recognized performer. In 2017, after winning the Compliment Death Match at the National Poetry Slam, he became the first person to be dubbed “the nicest poet in the country.” That same year he co-founded the Rich Oak Alchemy Open Mic as well as the Cal State East Bay Slam Poetry Club. In 2020, Jamey came second place in the Bass Schuler Entertainment America’s Best College Poet competition. His spoken word achievements also include: touring internationally; publishing two chapbooks; & performing at Twitter, Yelp, and Google Headquarters.
