"This is writing."

"Ariana has built her life around the performing arts and community service, and she melds the two together live on stage."

"Your work is earnest ..authentic .. ain't trying to please nobody .. Sunday good word .. Goodness."

"Ariana Francesca curated a poetry performance experience for the annual fundraising gala held by Hero Women Rising. Our event was held at the Jimmy Carter Center for Peace in Atlanta, GA. Ariana's ability to seamlessly translate vision, mission and culture to a compelling poetic story and performance was the equivalent of being in a theater where you are immersed into a new and present world and culture. Ariana will leave you with absolutely no regrets."
