Eric "Prospect" White - Writer, Poet, Rapper, Performer, Change Agent
Prospect is much more than just a rapper and hip hip artist, he is truly a visionary writer, poet and community leader. From co-founding youth art camps to active participation in the movement against systematic racism, Prospect sees the world in a unique way and conveys that through his presence and words. A pithy lyricist, Prospect is gifted beyond measure when wielding the English language. Prospect has a way of sparking inspiration in others and elevating consciousness with magnificent poise. His work inspired me to take my written works beyond the notebook into the realm of performance, encouraging me to share my poetry with the world. Prospect brings a unique vibe to The Reclamation Project, in his words he gives "voice to vision" and he does so with immaculate precision. His epigrammatic lyrics and poetry are gripping, making the work of reclamation accessible to a much wider audience especially within the communities that we serve. A graduate of the Community Arts Training institute through the Regional Arts Commission of St. Louis, Prospect is devoted to community engagement as a change agent, catalyzing movement and agency within the community. In my experience Prospect never does anything half way, he gives every project and endeavor his all, doing whatever it takes to get the job done with excellence. Eager to learn, very adaptable, and conceptually insightful Prospect is a pleasure to work with and valuable member of any team but especially this one. Actively contributing to the production of the visual art works as well Prospect loves to challenge himself and grow through meeting new challenges that may seem outside of his areas of expertice
