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.
