Testimonials

"Project Write Now is grateful to partner with Mannikka Rosa and have her lead teachers and students in expressing their authentic voices. Mannikka’s passion for hip hop education is contagious, and her generous spirit and compassionate methods bring out the best in every child. She is also a brilliant spoken word artist whose performances are nuanced and thought-provoking, blending her own voice with complex social issues that engage the listener. There is so much that teachers and students can learn from Mannikka’s talent, knowledge, and vibrancy. I cannot recommend her highly enough!"

Jennifer Chauhan, co-founder and executive director, Project Write Now

"Serving as the Superintendent for a high performing school district, I take very seriously how we spend the precious time that we have with our children, as well as who we seek to provide instruction, support, and experiences for our students. We have had the absolute privilege of working closely with Mannikka in helping our students with literacy and creativity, specifically in finding their passion and voice. I was truly moved by what our students were able to develop and accomplish with her guidance and support. Mannikka’s professionalism, passion and energy are second to none, and as I look forward to continuing our work together, I highly recommend her to any other school, district, or family who is looking to help their child be inspired, grow, and passionate about their learning."

Sean McNeil, Superintendent Fair Haven Public Schools

"Mannikka brings poise, professionalism, warmth, and relatability to each meeting with my daughter. My 14 year old looks up to her as a mentor, leader, teacher and most endearingly a friend. Mannikka uses her method to create a safe space for creativity and in turn she allows her students to feel seen and heard. i am not sure if my aspiring singer is songwriting or in a therapy session (both!) but when she is done with her weekly private class with Mannikka, she is the best version of herself. And when parenting someone 14, that version is very welcomed. I hope to have this duo work together for many moons to come. And feel lucky that we were put on her path!"

Marissa Kay, Parent

"Just needed to take a minute to thank you for such an amazing session. Maya came home so incredibly invigorated and excited (which if you know anything about teenage girls that is a near impossible feat especially on a weekday). She couldn’t stop raving about you and the experience in general. Thank you for building my girl up. Appreciate the awesome session and incredibly helpful feedback."

Rachel Presser, Parent

"Mannikka brought tremendous energy, thoughtfully crafted lessons and an authentic approach to teaching spoken word poetry. It was so special for students to see Mannikka perform one of her own pieces and to witness her vulnerability in that moment before my students ' performances. Students who would ordinarily hide their voices were willing to take chances writing and performing which speaks volumes of the trust Mannikka was able to build in just six days! The respect and encouragement they held for each other during the performance was the best part for me and I’m grateful for the space Mannikka created for students to be celebrated."

Alyssa Geary, Instructional Coach, ELA & Special Education Teacher

"What a great day spent with Mannikka from The Spoken Word Project! From the minute the session started until it ended, there was high energy and enthusiasm, from both the presenter and students. Mannikka's personal performance sparked participation from students in the varying stations set up around the classroom, all of which were engaging and produced meaningful writing. Students are still talking about the "Shabooya lady" and wondering when we will get another visit! If you are looking for a fun way to help students understand the power behind words and the importance of their voices, you've come to the right place!"

Teacher, Little Silver Public Schools
