May 15, 20175 stars for poem, 1 star for the service. A good friend of mine needed a poem written to say to her husband for his birthday. I found ms Bunting through Gigsalad where I usually have a great experience. I paid the deposit and provided the phone number for them to talk about the work needed. At completion ms Bunting wanted them to meet to exchange payment for the work, Fair, but timing would not allow for it. Ms Bunting sent the work with her paypal information for the payment. The same evening, at 9 30pm she called my friend (mind you it is mother's day weekend) and left a note so nice message. The next day she texted her calling her "rude" and pretty much "dishonest"... again, she is home with her husband for whom we are planning the surprise. My friend called me almost in tears because she was trying to find a solution without him knowing. I am a business owner and would do things differently to ensure customer service was still the focus.
I attempted to resolve it with Ms Bunting but she does not seem to think there is any my thing wrong.
I confirmed with PayPal, she has been paid.

September 24, 2012I have known Ms. Bunting for several years through bible class and we developed a great relationship. I became a fan of her poetry from the first moment she recited a piece and couldn't have thought of a better way for her to be a part of my wedding than to "grace the stage" with a piece written and performed by her especially for the occassion. I had no doubt it would be moving and heart-felt. Unfortunately, I was not able to hear her read the poem aloud at the ceremony as I was waiting to enter, but she read it to me before the day and I needed not change one word! It was absolutely beautiful and attendees of the wedding echoed those sentiments!

September 13, 2012This was my first time on gigsalad and I needed an artist to be apart of my grandmother's 100th birthday celebration. I came across Brenda's profile and immediately after we spoke regarding my vision, I knew I made the right decision. Brenda created a poem that impressed everyone at the party. My grandmother was overwhelmed with the words Brenda spoke and framed the poem so beautifully to keep as a keepsake. I would definitely request Brenda again for any of my upcoming events.

To take an inspiring poetic journey with me that will make us think about the bigger and deeper aspects of life beside the regular routine of ordinary. To be satisfactorily entertained in a respectable fashion.
Poet. Socially conscious advocate for life, for good, for peace and being positive. Lift up the voices of survivors, speak for our environment, stop killing my African American brothers and sisters, continue to carry on after the Women's March. Why? Because our world is beautiful. There are people of all races who are good and those who are not. Light streams can pierce past any darkness. This world is not a black hole yet. From Washington D.C. to Los Angeles CA and many places in between I have been commissioned for weddings, retirements, anniversaries, memorials and holidays. Author, Workshop Facilitator, Kentucky State Poetry Society Life member, RAINN Volunteer Speaker I have been published in anthologies, newspapers, magazine and online. I hope to always share the beauty of poetry with groups small or large. Her books of poetry are available on Amazon.
