About Us
Be The Spark Movement is a social movement that aims to ignite change in the world. We believe that everyone has the power to create positive change in their community, but it takes stepping out of your comfort zone to do so. We organize a once a month zoom call where we discuss how we can create more love, harmony, and compassion in our world. Join us and be the spark that ignites change!
"'Be The Spark' is a collaboration of minds and souls who are not content in waiting for change to somehow occur without direct and concise action. We know the power of words, but are also aware that words, without the support of action, look beautiful in books and pamphlets but die silently in the imagination if not taken further. It is not our goal to have our words nestled comfortably on a bookshelf in some distant future but to turn ideas into tangible advances for the human family, finding solutions in the stubborn act of never giving up."

Jeffery Martin
Poet, Podcaster, Script Writer, Dad
Jeffery Martin is the author of thirteen books. His latest "Ripples, Shadows & Huddled Scraps" is his first attempt at a novel. He has also contributed to ten anthologies of poetry and short stories. Writing for Mr. Martin started as a young child as a way to vent the sadness he was feeling. It developed into poetry, short stories and essays as his worldview began to expand. Reading being an intrical part of that process gave his writing more substance. To this day he believes that his writing will only improve if reading continues to be important in his development as a person. Words are responsible for him speaking to schools, churches, community centers, youth detention centers and various podcasts. Mr. Martin is dedicated to inspiring change through the written word. But not simply words, but words followed by action and direction. Currently he is host of his own podcast entitled, "Write A Way Podcast w/Jeffery Martin." He uses Tik Tok, Instagram and Facebook as venues to inspire thought and action. Projects he is involved in presently are a film script he is co-writing and a documentary about the impact of black music 1619- present. Jeffery Martin presently resides in Southern California.
