Suli Breaks

Suli Breaks is a spoken word artist, storyteller and writer who transforms audiences through the power of language and poetry. His groundbreaking piece 'Why I Hate School But Love Education' has reached over 7 million people worldwide, earning coverage from the BBC, Guardian and Huffington Post, whilst his TED Global performance and creative work continue to spark global conversations on education and social issues. Through his performances and writing, Suli empowers organisations and audiences to challenge convention, rethink success and embrace authentic self-expression, delivering sessions that inspire lasting change and creative confidence across generations.

When Suli Breaks uploaded his spoken word piece 'Why I Hate School But Love Education' to social media, he sparked a global conversation that would reach over 7 million people and fundamentally challenge how a generation thinks about learning, success and self-expression. Armed with an unused law degree from Sheffield University and a fierce passion for the written word, he turned his frustration with the formal education system into a creative protest that resonated across continents. What began in local venues and universities across the UK evolved into a worldwide platform, earning coverage from the BBC, Guardian, Huffington Post and Washington Post, and establishing Suli as a voice for those questioning convention and seeking authentic paths to purpose.

His work extends far beyond viral success. Suli has performed at TED Global, created narrative series exploring adolescence in London, and delivered masterclasses and keynote presentations at events around the world. His approach to spoken word refuses the limitations of traditional poetry, instead using language as a tool for exploration, empowerment and social commentary. Through his newsletter and ongoing creative projects, including collaborations with brands such as STABILO, he continues to develop honest writing on creativity, life and resilience. His ability to connect with audiences of every generation, background and nationality stems from his willingness to address universal struggles with refreshing candour and linguistic precision, making complex ideas about identity, ambition and belonging feel immediate and actionable.

Suli transforms events by giving audiences permission to question inherited narratives and redefine success on their own terms. His performances challenge organisations to rethink how they communicate values, inspire teams and engage with younger generations seeking meaning beyond conventional metrics. Whether addressing corporate audiences, educational institutions or creative communities, he delivers sessions that spark lasting conversations about authenticity, purpose and the courage to pursue unconventional paths. Audiences leave his presentations not only inspired but equipped with a renewed sense of creative confidence and the language to articulate their own stories, making him an invaluable speaker for organisations committed to fostering innovation, inclusivity and genuine human connection.
