‘AGT’ Winner Brandon Leake Honors Breonna Taylor with a Moving Poem
Ойын-сауық
Newly crowned “America’s Got Talent” winner Brandon Leake chatted with Ellen about what winning the $1-million prize means to him, how he first got started in spoken word, and how writing personal pieces has become cathartic and a way of healing for him. Then, Brandon took the stage to debut a moving poem dedicated to Breonna Taylor.

for not being afraid or ashamed to mention Jesus on those platforms means a lot to the Christian family. I'm so proud of you

Sadly, for far too many, Christianity is a heavy financial and time consuming burden, when Communities are crumbling, CHILDREN and SENIORS are being HORRIBLY neglected and far too many churches are flourishing as well as condoning/allowing various heinous crimes.. Not Christ like at all... But his spoken word talent is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, and worthy of awards!!! Congratulations 🎊💖💯🎯

@@dianeboyd9078 you are soo right! Most of those individuals that are doing those horrible things aren’t Christian’s. They don’t believe and cause harm to others. If we all believed and lived right crime would drastically decrease. God bless us all
He definitely has a way with words! As someone who has also been on the Ellen show, it truly is an honor to be recognized by her.

Ninja Fiftshark I’m not a fan of ELLEN because shes awful to her co-workers and fans.
This young man is the new Maya Angelou! So powerful with words! I liked him from the very beginning of Agt. I honestly didn’t think he would win. I am so happy he did! This world needs him. Congratulations

He is SO deserving! Very happy for him!
I wish all artists used their platform to spread words like this that America definitely needs to hear. Brandon did such a good job of that in his performances. America needs as much help as it can get to end these racial injustices. You deserved better Breonna Taylor. We will keep fighting. ✊🏾❤️.
Wow....I'm so amazed to see a poet won America's got talent....that's great!In the present scenario of the world poets have much to say.I loved what you said...your poetry speaks volumes...sending huge appreciation to you..a fellow poet from India.And also another thing!Hi Ellen!Love your shows!

Absolutely correct. It was poets such as Shakespeare and Mark Twain that spoke on current events and life in general that told of historical events while experiencing them. Edgar Allen, Walt Whitman and even Dylan Thomas were vital to historical storytelling. It is an art form that has failed to receive acalades
