What makes us who we are? Are our origins affecting us negatively or positively? We live in an era where it is easy to access our ancestral lineage and learn from it. Sometimes, learning from our origins can serve as the catapult to break free from any chains and liberate the light of the Creative Soul. Bennie Lee Williams III has taken all the pieces from his ancestors and created a beautiful space for all of us to feel anew and find a way to transform all past transgressions into something magnificent – into something poetic.
Lee is a poet, singer, rapper, producer, and Creative Entrepreneur, founder of Poeticlee. From poetry, music, and articles to courses, Poeticlee is a unique and user-friendly platform with many opportunities for Creative Souls to take advantage of, including joining them as a writer. We can also join their tribes, such as Creators Cre8, Intuitive Feels, Sacred Sexuality with Innana Rose, and Black Families Heal.
Lee’s creativity burst when he was a pre-teen, and while in high school, he started producing beats, living up to his passion for music. Combined with a fantastic creative flow, having an entrepreneurial mindset keeps Lee putting ideas together, taking risks, and sharing them with the world. He has released three music projects, Here For Now (Album), H.O.P.E. (EP), and Crossroads: From Hell to Heaven (Album).
As a poet, Lee feels that he is not the owner of the words. He’s simply the conductor – like a river flowing without resisting the current. Lee has been writing romantic and R&B poetry, creating new rhymes, melting his soul in deep emotions that allow him to give birth to powerful verses filled with magic. Whether he is giving a speech, singing a song, or reading his poems, Lee’s voice carries a divine tune that is beyond spectacular.
In 2013, Lee launched his first podcast, The Image Podcast, back when people would scratch their heads at the sound of podcasts, “Ah!?” This podcast helped college students build their brands and present themselves well, depending on their careers. He tried to make sure that young souls understood how unique they were, inspiring them to go after their dreams with intention and purpose.
Lee continues with his drive to assist others in their journey, to help them heal and fill their days with light, and with his digital content network, Lotus XTV, Lee covers various topics, including Men Healing and discovering their divine feminine and masculine energy, Civic comprehension, and Moral activism empowering creators.
Understanding how overwhelming social media can be for Creative Souls and how easy it is for our art to get lost in the midst of it, Lee sought an opportunity and created Poeticlee. Through Poeticlee, Lee inspires a universal connection for personal development, artistic expression, and spiritual transcendence. Poeticlee is designed to inspire healing, personal development, and spiritual exploration through art, online courses, and discussion as a community for creatives to support each other. This site is intended to be a sacred space where self-creation, evolution, and preservation can be sustained.
“It takes starting something and transforming it into something useful,” Lee explains. He is an excellent example of creating something extraordinary out of the roughest of experiences. He’s taken his ancestor’s pain and his own past mistakes and molded them into a piece of art worthy of admiration.
“Glow and grow, even in the darkest moments, don’t stop glowing. Don’t try to get out of the box; instead, illuminate the box you’re in,” this is Lee’s message to the world. He is giving us the tools to help our Creative Souls to transcend beyond our lack and pain. Lee is turning our lives into a beautiful poem.
Lee speaks for the voiceless, helping us open our eyes and stop blindly following beliefs and patterns that keep us condemned. We owe our families to shift our perceptions to higher and divine levels and change our mindset, customs, doctrines, healing techniques, and even laws. Lee is here to guide us through the path of enlightenment with his dreamy voice, powerful music, and wisdom. He’s here to heal our Creative Souls and set them free.
