Courage-MLK PRESENTATION

I am extremely pleased with Mr . Che’s performance! He performed for our organization for an MLK celebration as our keynote speaker. I have received multiple text, emails and phone calls expressing how enthusiastic, knowledgeable and entertaining his presentation was. We want him back soon!

The Experience of All Time

Laurent wrote this piece for me as a tribute to my mother whom I lost 3/5/21. Let's just say he understood the assignment. He actually went above and beyond and brought so much joy to my family with this poem. I first listened to Laurent at a spoken word night at a local club here in Cincy and fell in love with his stage presence and poetry. When I decided to start this project, he was the first person that came to mind. What I thought would be a difficult task, he made seem so easy and natural. I went into this with my eyes closed and trusted his creativity and I'm so glad that I chose him as the poet.
I hope one day everyone can experience the talent that Laurent has to offer because he is ALL OF THE ABOVE!
TRULY A GIFT. MY MOM TRIED FOR A SON BUT INSTEAD SHE HAD 4 GIRLS. IF SHE DID EVER HAVE ONE I'M WILLING TO BET HE WOULD BE AS AMAZING AS LAURENT!

A true artist!

Laurent is a man of many talents but is truly gifted with spoken word! I commissioned him to create a spoken word piece for an event our organization was hosting and he over-delivered!
We got so much positive feedback about his powerful and inspiring piece.
Laurent is a spectacular artist with a refreshing humility that makes him a joy to work with.
