Spiritual Disruptor. Miracle Worker. Prophetic Voice for the Fed Up.
about Karmen
Karmen Michael Smith is a spiritual disruptor, miracle worker, and prophetic voice for the fed up. He transforms unrest into awakening and silence into liberation — guiding people through disruption to reclaim who they were always meant to be.
Blending James Baldwin’s fire with Maya Angelou’s wisdom, Karmen’s voice carries truth and tenderness. With roots in the Black church, the queer community, and DEI leadership, he helps others walk through their own sacred unraveling — and into freedom.
He is the host of the top-ranked podcast Overthinking with Karmen and author of The 4 Laws of Disruption.
