Without a doubt, Exchange Place is truly a highlight of the weekend for our audience. It was exciting to see the spillover crowd for your performance..."

WOW! What a performance... Usually [students] talk about the performance right afterward, but I've never heard the inspiration last until after the weekend.

-B. Randall, Westown Elementary School

You did a wonderful job of exemplifying both the entertainment and teaching functions of African storytelling.  My colleagues and I were very impressed by your ability to elicit the enthusiastic response of even our most challenging students.

-Amy Cohen, Abington Junior High School

[Queen], words cannot adequately describe your storytelling. It was fascinating, mesmerizing, fun, etc.  At the same time it was a learning experience emphasizing education and self-esteem.  It's a real feat to include many facets in storytelling You did it!

[Queen Nur] is so lively... her energy reaches out and captures you and makes you come alive... I've never seen anyone like her... I just wanted to keep on listening to more, more, more... She is authentic and real... She provides a rich and proud experience.

-Audience member, New Jersey Storytelling Festival

Thank you for an outstanding performance at our library recently. You captured everyone's imagination not only with your stories but with your dramatic presentation of them.  Moreover, I really loved the way you involved so many audience members in the program; I think adults enjoyed themselves as much as the children.

- Pat Findra, Monmouth County Library

Thank you for such an energetic exciting performance at our storytelling festival... I heard many compliments over the weekend, about your performance.  Even our principal admitted that she had only planned on making a brief appearance, but you were so good that she stayed!

The best assembly program I've seen in the entire 25 years I've been teaching!

You sparked an ancient nerve that needed to be awakened... and now the fire cannot be put out.
