January 21, 2025I had the honor of hiring Wisdom Speaks to perform my mother's favorite poem at her memorial service, and she truly exceeded all expectations. From the moment we connected, her professionalism and genuine care shone through. She is not only incredibly talented but also a beautiful person inside and out.
Wisdom was accommodating, entertaining, and an absolute pleasure to work with. She arrived on time, thoughtfully inquired about appropriate attire, and ensured every detail was perfect. Her dedication and attention to detail went far beyond what I could have hoped for, providing comfort and grace during such a difficult time.
Her performance was heartfelt and moving, leaving a lasting impression on everyone in attendance. I cannot recommend her highly enough and will undoubtedly be booking her services again in the future. Trust me, you won’t regret it—book her now because her schedule fills up fast!

October 12, 2021Wisdom is awesome! I have seen the light bulbs turn on when the children or adults hear her speak. She is always uplifting, inspiring, encouraging, or teaching us with her words/wisdom. I will be forever grateful to God for allowing our paths to cross and for what she has imparted to me and the community. A true blessing from God!

Wisdom brings superior entertainment and professionalism. She arrives at least 30min before event start time and stays duration of the event to engage with guest. No matter the venue expect for Wisdom to leave her all on the stage.
Donta, Journey The Gleaning Lady, Gee is a poet entertainer licensed stylist and designer, bka serial artrepreneur, and mental illness thriver. This "Art for Ashes" redemption story of growing up in an addiction plagued home, molestation, and domestic violence began it's turn around with teen parenting culminating with accepting the salvation of Christ. Journey stepped onto the platform in 2015 with a yes to turn silent poetic testimonies on lost notebook pages to freedom songs on stages not knowing this would put her in a head on collision with destiny. After traveling the country emceeing, performing and facilitating workshops she found it was just only the surface. Journey had another spiritual awakening on the horizon that would bring her into perfect alignment. In the midst of birthing a 501c3 art safe haven building an Artspa Salon and completing her education she experienced a mental health breakdown. Journey's new awareness of being a Christian living with mental illness brought her to Advocacy as a Peer Support Specialist ar NAMI starting the mission to "werk it out" and heal to be transformed into who she's called to be. Her storytelling ability and energy can move you to tears or laughter but the love, authenticity, and power that flows from her words will always bring life. This art healing minister gifts hyssop of life lessons to teach & bring hope. Journey's life giving words will soon take to the airwaves through the launch of her new talk show Called Crazy.

All of the artist in my organization, Solace coalition founded by Chicago legend Jeronimo Speaks, has influenced me in one way or another. Most importantly Jesus is my biggest influence.
