Testimonials

“Thembe is a talented and committed poet and workshop facilitator who sparked a real interest in the students’ minds about poetry and expressing themselves through spoken word. She engaged with the students thoughtfully and they were inspired by her own poetry pieces which she shared to demonstrate the use of various poetic techniques. Overall it was a real pleasure working with Thembe and we hope to work with her again in the future.” – JW3

“Something that surprised me was how everyone opened up, that created trust for me to start talking about myself.” – Creative Storytelling, Gold and Ashes
