Guiding these young peer educators, he seeks to empower them to make a positive impact in their communities. A veteran of the US Armed Forces as well as a veteran of the poetry slam scene, Jonkel most recently took 4th place in the 2023 Blackberry Peach Festival National Poetry Slam. His latest project is "Trauma Monsters: A Collection of Poetry," which is available on all major platforms.
