On Mentoring
“We are most grateful for the opportunity that the Spoken Word Workshop presented to Evan to really reach inside himself and expose to those he knew and to many he did not know, very publicly, many of the deepest, most sensitive and sometimes most painful elements of who he saw, and sees, himself to be. This helped bolster his understanding of himself and his strength in confronting his demons.”
- Linda 2010
“The outlet and courage my daughter has found through poetry writing and sharing her work has been incredible. This experience was so far out of her comfort zone when she started with you, and I am still continually amazed at her growth and the way she has found her voice. I think her words are very powerful and it is empowering for her. Thank you so much for caring about Jessie and the other kids you have been mentoring, thank you for being the bright spot in Jessie’s week, and thank you for believing in her.”
