Nellenel is a Spoken Word artist from the Northeast. He uses humor and lyricism to tell stories that are relatable and personal.
Ora is a dynamic spoken word artist and singer who has returned to the stage after a transformative 30-year hiatus. Battling through performance anxiety one performance at at time, she hits the stage with a unique blend of heartfelt poetry and relevant melodies. Ora captivates audiences, taking them on a journey of self-love, empowerment, and self-discovery. Her performances are a testament to the healing power of art, as she reclaims her voice one stage at a time. She believes that it’s never too late to find your voice and share your story, inspiring others to embrace their own creative paths. As she reconnects with her passion for performance, she invites everyone to join her on this remarkable journey to Finding Ora.
