“I loved the writing exercises and just experiencing the poems with everyone who attended. I was amazed by how well the activities aligned with the content. And how creative the whole process was!”

“I really enjoyed being provided various activities that are adaptable to many different learning styles, especially making poetry interactive. I appreciated the modern, diverse and relevant artists that were read. The breakdown of how to utilize text with age/grade appropriate recommendations for discussion and activities were great as well.”

“Brittany is a very engaging teacher, so smart and so supporting and came up with unique and beautiful introduction activities and discussion points. Very creative, very strong leader! [Our] classes were structured in a way [that] it was easy to keep up the energy and content was very Detroit-centered talents that deserve to be talked about.

“As a facilitator, Brittany Rogers presents participants with a multifaceted, multidisciplinary experience. Rather than teaching participants one way to do things, Rogers creates an atmosphere of exploration where the participant can adapt techniques and lenses to their existing style and practice. The workshop was a blast, both educational and generative.”
