March 2, 2026This poet delivered a deeply moving and heartfelt performance at our Black History Month event. Her storytelling was raw, authentic, and beautifully crafted. As she shared pieces of her life through poetry, you could feel the room grow still everyone was fully present, fully listening.
She has a powerful gift, and we all knew she had even more to give. She left us wanting more in the best way possible. Her words resonated with us long after she stepped away from the mic. It was a meaningful and memorable experience for everyone in attendance.

September 24, 2025Fanta was amazing! She arrived early with the biggest smile. During her performance she captivated the entire crowd. Students and staff were drawn in to her intensely relatable poem about our youth today. She was able to engage the crowd and was a highlight of our show. Everyone raved of her performance. We would love to have Fanta again!
