Ebo's amazing work has gained recognition on various platforms, including the book "Black Imagination" and online channels such as Write About Now, Button Poetry, and All Def Poetry. He's also been a successful poetry slam participant, placing 5th in the World at the Individual World Poetry Slam in 2016.
