Founded by Brooklyn native, and Morgan State University graduate, Lennie Bennett. For the past 15 years, under the pen name Kel Spencer, his writing has garnered Grammy and Soul Train Music Award nominations, an American Music Award, Platinum Plaques, Superstar Artists, Magazines, TV Networks, his first book, a Feature Film, Social Media and more.
Through P.O.P. Kel has funneled his experiences, and knowledge into a way of assisting scholars (grades 4-12, and collegiate workshops) and their teachers, with Critical Thinking, Character Development, College & Career Readiness, and Professional Development. Recently adding author and curriculum designer Erica Buddington to the team, Creatively Learning About Scholastics Self & Society (C.L.A.S.S.) is indeed the mission.
Additionally, Black Star Grove (launched at B.E.T.'s headquarters) is where scholars earn opportunities to meet B.E.T. executives, celebrities, and athletes while touring B.E.T.’s studios. P.O.P. is where deserving scholars are exclusively selected.
Over the past 7 years, P.O.P. has served thousands of children in over a dozen cities. From schools, to after school programs, to private clubs and organizations, to foster homes & orphanages, P.O.P. adheres to basic principles of Common Core and SaferSanerSchools™ / Restorative Practices, while giving scholars what they need, packaged in what they love… It’s That Simple!
***In addition to writing workshops, Pens of Power can also partner with you for career day, Keynote speaking& presentations, career development, business of music workshops, and school wide/community events and engagements.
