Hi, My Name is Faith
I am a Spoken Word Poet, Teaching Artist, and Ayurvedic Counselor. I use the knowledge that I have in Mind Body Centering and Social Emotional Learning (SEL) to present my audience and students with the proper tools to make it to tomorrow and beyond.

“Faith - a phenomenon, with her art ranging from freestyling over live music to performing beautifully crafted spoken word pieces that have the ability to unravel the threads holding us together as a consciousness.
She rarely leaves a room with dry eyes. Her poetic journey began when she realized that in order for her to finally feel heard, she would first have to listen to herself. She now shares this gift with others healing the soul of the collective.”

My purpose as a Teaching Artist, is to provide a safe space for students to face themselves, and be okay.
I accomplish this with students through Interactive Literacy workshops that address Social-Emotional Learning needs through Activity-based learning.
The first time I performed poetry for a classroom, a young girl came up to me in tears. She could not speak, she wrote me a letter. She said that she’d been struggling with feeling heard and my words allowed for her to hear herself for the first time in a really long time.
That was the moment I realized how needed this work is, in schools especially.

Ayur - Life
Veda - Science
Ayurveda - the science of life.
Ayurveda is a whole-body (holistic) system of medicine that began in India more than 3,000 years ago. Ayurveda mostly uses nutrition, lifestyle changes, and natural treatments to balance the 5 elements that make up our mind, body, and soul.
I graduated from the Narayana Academy of Ayurveda with a Certificate in Ayurvedic Counseling and a pledge to use the knowledge that I have to heal and balance others.
