Tracy J on Poetry, Pour-et Tea & Building Community Through Creative Expression

In this episode of the La Raza BIPOC ACCESS Artist Development Podcast, we sit down with Tracy J — poet, entrepreneur, and founder of Outpour, a monthly open mic series uplifting poets, artists, and musicians across Durham Region and the GTA. She also shares the story behind Pour-et, her poetry-inspired herbal tea brand, and how both ventures reflect her mission to build intentional, inclusive, and healing-centered spaces for the Black and BIPOC creative community. We dive into Tracy J’s unique approach to fusing business with purpose, how she stays grounded while wearing many hats as a mother and curator, and her advice for artists looking to turn their creativity into legacy. A conversation on self-expression, safe spaces, and honoring your voice through both art and entrepreneurship.
