Brandon Williamson is a storyteller, poet, actor, school administrator, and Creativity Consultant born and raised in Buffalo. He has made it his life goal to reach out to students in inner city neighborhoods similar to the one he grew up in, painting a path for them to follow to their future. In this process, Brandon created the Pure Ink Poetry Slam.

As the only monthly running poetry slam in Buffalo, the Pure Ink Poetry Slam caters to the community of poets in the Western New York area, as well as authors, musicians, dancers, and comedians. Brandon works hard to build a community of art that everyone can be a part of. He has traveled across various cities and states in the U.S., Canada and Europe telling his story and encouraging others to share their own. He is an advocate for creativity in business and education and has introduced a culture of creativity into the core of many of their business operations, through storytelling and creative problem solving.

Brandon is excited to return to the stage with the BPO to take everyone on a journey of music and wonder.
