“I was introduced to J’Nell and Maquita with Paint and Poetic Prose for a professional networking function, and was admittedly skeptical – but curious.  What I found far exceeded my expectations.  Within ten minutes of our group activity, I started to feel comfortable, inquisitive, and at ease.  I watched as my colleagues began to open up and grow vulnerable, and we began to connect with one another in ways that we had not previously been able to.  I left that function with such enthusiasm that I did two things: purchase a few different books of poetry written by Maquita, and schedule time to have them both come into my treatment facility to work with my clients thorough a group exercise.

I truly cannot say enough about the professionalism, care, warmth, and attention that these two bring to their work.  I enjoyed having had the opportunity to work with them twice, and hope to be able to do so again in the near future.”

You all have the ability to make even the most untalented feel a bit artistic and spiritual. There is something for everyone here. I would bring this socially and clinically into what I do." - Ms. Schupak, Mental Healthcare Professional

"...so it was this really interesting juxtaposition between all of the senses---listening to something and taking it in without seeing anything, creating your own photograph in your mind and then opening your eyes and creating something that is actual tangible art."

From the painting to the poetry to the mini course on how to embrace our cycles, really was a full experience of divine self care.

I love meeting amazing women that are unapologetically themselves. That like to share, be vulnerable, be strong, funny and emotional all at the same time. As women---so many times we forget to take a moment for ourselves. So I want to thank each of you for taking the moments this evening to share that time with us. We spread ourselves too thin many times."
