October 1, 2025We had a spoken word event at the apartment community that I work at. None of our residents showed up, but she still performed her 2 hours as if the room was packed. Very professional! Her words made me cry several times. Very moving and inspiring. She even brought a few friends to speak and they were amazing as well! Definitely book her if you are looking for something like this!
