May 20, 2026Powerful, Professional, and Truly Exceptional Artist
I cannot recommend Faraji highly enough.
I had the pleasure of bringing her on as a spoken word artist for an event in October, and from the very beginning, she was thoughtful, professional, responsive, and incredibly easy to work with. I had known her work for years and was already familiar with the depth, power, and beauty of her poetry, so I knew she would deliver something special. Still, she exceeded every expectation.
I gave her basic creative parameters, and she took them and created a piece that was beautifully written, emotionally resonant, and perfectly aligned with the spirit of the event. She sent both a recording and transcript in advance, confirmed day-of details, communicated clearly, and remained gracious and reliable throughout the entire process.
Beyond her talent, she was generous, patient, and genuinely committed to making the moment meaningful. She went above and beyond, and her professionalism stood out immediately.
Anyone looking for a gifted, dependable, and deeply impactful spoken word artist would be lucky to work with her. I would absolutely recommend her and would be thrilled to collaborate with her again!

October 20, 2019Fantastic and powerful performance
Faraji was charismatic when she performed at our hospitality conference. I had so many of our attendees come up to me to tell me how wonderful she was and that they were moved by her poem. Out of all the entertainers we had that day, she was definitely a favorite!
