Step Afrika! "On behalf of the University of Arkansas, allow me to commend you on your collaboration with Step Afrika. This group performed with exact precision, extreme professionalism, and an enormous amount of contagious energy. Students and staff alike were blown away by this event." Curtis Wright, Minority Student Advocate "It was my pleasure to answer your call to come on stage during the audience participation feature, and I must say I felt super-charged to be a member of the troop, even if only a temporary one, though I have no rhythm!" Heather Shehorn & Lenny Longo, University of South Florida Sarasota/Manatee Campus The Hope College community certainly enjoyed the outstanding delay of talent, energy and creativity. I wish to share that the students, faculty and staff and community members were so honored to have you all grace the institution with your presence. I, personally, was impressed with the level of approachability and interest you all showed to the students and community members after the performance. Glinda J. Rawls, Interim Director of Multicultural Affairs Def Poetry Jam for Multicultural/International Student Services "It brought me to tears, in the best of ways." "The poets were very inspirational, vibrant and left an impact." "Very enjoyable! Great change of pace and diversity of guests." "The poetry touched my heart and tied my insides in knots. Thank you!" Students of James Madison University

	"Professors were giving out extra credit for students to come! ...It was great because the crowd was really responsive and the poets stayed for a Q&A session. Because it was the first real spoken word event on campus, I think people walked in not knowing what to expect. But it turned out to be something everyone of all backgrounds and ages could relate to..." Jennifer Truc, UC Riverside Race & Religion symposium: A dialogue on Spoken Word "It is with extreme gratitude that I write you this letter thanking you for your help in arranging the "Racial Issues" program featuring Bryonn Bain and Jason Carney. Ultimately, the most phenomenal thing about the program was Jason and Bryonn's willingness to connect with the students. Our students and university benefited greatly from their visit, and with the highest of recommendations, that I refer them to other campuses." Curtis Wright, Minority Student Advocate "Meeting Rah Digga was one of the most memorable experiences of my college career. She is quite unique and down-to-Earth. Her inside take on the entertainment industry was a total eye-opener. Her performance was awesome; she is a total crowd pleaser. She is a talented MC and carried our event. The whole purpose of this event--showcasing different cultures at TCU--was magnified by her performance. I would highly recommend her for any multicultural program." Pepe Cisneros, TCU Programming Council Director of Multicultural Projects
