A Surprise Proposal

Gabriel pops the question! Did she say YES???

A note from Gabriel Giron of Kinetic Affect and Speak It Forward Inc.:

Normally I wouldn’t share something this personal on social media but a good friend (Kirk Latimer) told me, “There aren’t enough good examples of strong men expressing their passion and their love for the women in their lives. It would be good for the young men and women we work with to see this.”

Well, I guess there are a few good things about dating a hopeless romantic poet. Here is the video I put together of when I asked my fiancé to marry me, wait till you see her reaction. 😉

Thanks for everyone who came out to support us and a big thank you to everyone who has helped make the life of a poet possible! I am truly blessed to have this many wonderful people and organizations in my life… oh yeah, and thanks to Erica for saying YES!

Hi, I graduated from high school at Kalamazoo Central 3 years ago…I just wanted to let you know that lately, whenever I need something empowering, I listen to your words. Since graduating I’ve moved to New York and I’ve been sharing your words and stories here and you’ve got many fans here now. I hope you’re both doing well, and I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate you.

…I was at Lakeside Academy and attended the classes that were put on by Speak It Forward. I loved and appreciated what you did for me and my fellow peers. It has been almost a year and a half since I left and I’m doing much better now. The things you taught me I still use to this day. Thank you.

I still wear my shirt from your first performance downtown Kalamazoo. Circa 2006 or so… You guys are the TRUTH!!!
