Shanelle was tasked with creating a powerful poem for our organization’s annual gala and from the moment we saw her first draft, we knew she nailed it. Her inspirational words coupled with her powerful delivery created a moving mission moment for all of our guests. Her performance was an overwhelming favorite in a night full of great moments. In addition to the quality of her work, Shanelle was a responsive, thorough communicator and a joy to collaborate with throughout the process.
