Disrupt to Become
Karmen Michael Smith isn’t here to improve the world. He’s here to disrupt it.
Public Theologian. Author. Prophetic Entrepreneur.
Karmen builds what the world forgot but the soul remembers.
From The 4 Laws of Disruption to his podcast Overthinking with Karmen, from the pulpit to the boardroom, he calls people to unlearn empire, reclaim the sacred, and live new.
In 2025, he launched Foragé Atelier — a lifestyle brand rooted in Black Southern heritage — with its first collection of Rooted Syrups (Sweet Potato Pie and Peach Cobbler). It isn’t just flavor; it’s memory, culture, and resistance bottled for the future.
This October, Smith will be inducted into the Martin Luther King Jr. Board of Preachers at Morehouse College. And in February 2026, he takes the stage in Texas for Lift Every Voice, where his prophetic vision meets his music.
Karmen is not a brand.
He is a reckoning.
