The Hollywood Theatre will Poet Advocates for Youth A community poet shaped by his experience of growing up black in Portland and being the youngest of four brothers in a sin- gle parent household is on a mis- sion to advocate for youth through his writings and actions. Montrell Goss, also known as ‘God’s Instrument” is working on book number five since he pub- lished his first book, Judgement Day, a compilation of personal opinions about faith, struggle and life when he was just 20-years- old. Goss found himself having to make decisions early on in life about the kind of man he want- ed to become. His teenage years were filled with extracurricular activities that allowed him the op- portunity to work with his peers and others younger than him. By 19, he started to get stronger in faith and that’s when he got seri- ous about his writing. As an adult, he remains com- mitted to a vision of change and youth advocacy through his writ- ing while also mentoring youth as a way to give back to the commu- nity Goss believes that people Montrell Goss shouldn’t let yesterday stop them from being better people today. Stay tuned for the release date for his new publication.
