Phoebe A Eligon-Jones (Blupoetres)

Blupoetres is a Brooklyn native with over two decades of experience as a New York City high school English teacher. After experiencing burnout in 2023, she transitioned from the classroom to a dean’s role, seeking to make a broader impact on students. Her educational background includes an Associate in Arts, a Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education, a Master of Science in Education, and a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing.

In 2008, she founded her own business, Blupoetres Creations. This is a passion-driven brand dedicated to celebrating the richness of the Black and Brown experience through custom, handmade t-shirts. Each piece is designed to empower, inspire, and connect, featuring Afrocentric themes and positive messages that resonate deeply with our community. Her brand, Blupoetres Creations, believes in the power of wearable art to tell stories and express identity. Blupoetres believes in celebrating culture, creativity, and individuality not just with her words but with her products.

Blupoetres’ passion lies in crafting poetry that highlights the experiences of marginalized communities and sparks meaningful dialogue. She is working towards publishing two manuscripts of poetry, one of them being a heroic crown of sonnets, which was a three-year labor of love that reflects a piece of her soul on every page. Blupoetres has already self-published a journal and a poetry collection. Encouraging students to pursue their dreams has been a cornerstone of her career, and now, she’s excited to finally chase her own.
