Dominic “Nerd” McDonald
a change agent to the unheard.
Dominic “Nerd” McDonald — known on stage as Nerd the Poet — is a young Black entrepreneur and spoken word artist from various cities in Los Angeles, California, now living in the DC metro area.
He has put his views on growing up in the inner city between two households, hip hop music, being a social outcast, college experiences, and more on paper — creating everything from screenplays to magazine articles. In January 2022 he founded Nerd the Poet Productions, a poetic event and consulting company that curates art-share opportunities and recreational entertainment through spoken word.
His passion comes from serving the community, especially through the arts. By writing from his heart and what he sees and hears, he hopes to be a “change agent” to the unheard. He plans to travel spreading his creativity and influence to those who may receive his messages, as well as manage and mentor others who decide to walk the same path.
