Recognized as a national speaker and advocate for people with disabilities, LeDerick uses his gift for spoken word poetry as a teaching tool presenting to groups across the spectrum. From the students and faculty at Harvard University to the youth and staff at correctional facilities his message focuses on increasing confidence, academic performance, self-determination, and self-advocacy by challenging conventional teaching styles and challenging his audience to look beyond negative labels. After graduating with honors from Jersey City University in 2003 with a BA in Mathematics and a minor in Fine Art, LeDerick released Rhyme Reason and Song (2005), an album of his poetry set to music, and co-created and performed in New Street Poets, a spoken word play addressing gentrification’s effect on urban culture. His is second collection of poetry called Black and Blue (2011) was recently released and he is working with the writers of New Street Poets to develop a spoken word play called Commencement which addresses the stereotypes that shape our education system.
