Brook Carter
Brook Carter is an arts, mental illness, and abuse advocate. This has given her the opportunity to be featured in places like Respect The Mic and Light Up The Night. From 18 years old to 20 years old she competed in poetry slams, such as Louder Than A Bomb, UCF’S One Night Slam, College Union Poetry Slam Invitational, and Brave New Voices. She used the stage as a way to share her story. Then used the lessons to be UCF’s poetry coach, workshop and slam coordinator in 2017-2018. In 2016, Open Space, a writing workshop dedicated to giving others a safe space to explore their artistic talents, learn, and share their art without judgement, started. It is still going on to this day. Her last project was her book, Glass Roots. She is currently working on releasing merch and her second chapbook.
