David Bowden - START SOMETHING THAT MATTERS!

Out of the cacaphony of violent voices raging across the globe,
a modern poet arises. 

A true poet's voice ... young, visionary, passionate and pure.

David Bowden seeks to speak for people, groups and ideas whose voices are unheard or misunderstood.

Julie Ann discovered David and his works through his powerful, viral poetry video, "Start Something That Matters" - with a message so resonant with that of ConsciousSHIFT. 

David performs this poem - which was inspired by the new book, "Start Something that Matters", by TOMS Founder & Chief Shoe Giver Blake Mycoskie - with such great heart and deep passion, it is impossible not to be moved to draw from your own deep passion and shift into action, by the energy and message expressed.

David follows the tradition of the Beat Poets of the 1950’s and Slam Poets of the 1980’s ... and uses poetry to challenge and inspire individuals and groups to give a voice to the voiceless, promote social justice, and care for the needy throughout the world.

David writes and performs for non-profits, activist movements, and youth conferences around the country. David is married and living in Oklahoma City, working as the Executive Director of the non-profit Give a Goat. 

Julie Ann is honored to showcase David - his voice and his vision - here on ConsciousSHIFT ... you won't want to miss a word of this powerful Show!
