Testimonials

  • "Michelle came to our writing workshop in order to facilitate a discussion about feminism. Our workshop consisted of high school girls of color who were just beginning their advocacy for social justice. Michelle brought energy and positivity to the room, while also promoting an atmosphere of learning and active engagement. Coming out of the workshop, Michelle left a positive impact on us and on our participants, reminding us that we are the next generation of advocates. Michelle reminded us it’s okay to be outspoken, even when women are taught to be silent, especially Asian women. We also learned a great deal about the Asian/Asian American side of feminism, the history of it, as well as about role models and influential figures."

  • "Michelle Myers is an amazing speaker, performer, scholar, and grassroots leader. I had the opportunity to hear her speak and perform at Asian American student conferences at the University of Pennsylvania and Temple University. Her presentations are usually personable, honest, inspirational, and at times, beautifully raw. Michelle is very approachable and down-to-earth. She will talk to you, in-person, the same way as she would talk to a group of 400-500+ people. Michelle has the ability to draw thoughtful and informed connections regarding Asian American/Multicultural identities and race and racism through highly engaging talks, workshops, and performances. It is particularly impressive to watch Michelle perform and teach spoken word. You can tell that she really cares about her craft and how she teaches her craft with students."

  • “I first learned of Michelle and her work as a spoken word poet when I was in college. I had never before heard spoken word poetry performed by an Asian American woman and it was an incredibly empowering and a defining experience for me as a young Asian American woman discovering my own cultural identity. Since then, I have had the pleasure of working with Michelle professionally and am always moved by her passion and artistry. Spoken word poetry is a powerful tool for social change and activism and Michelle is a master at her craft. She deftly wields her words to evoke powerful emotions in her audience, to transport us to the magical time of a Philadelphia summer or to remind us of our ancestry and the generations of people who walked before us. She reminds us of history’s atrocities so that we may never forget, but also inspires us with the beauty in our hope and perseverance for a more equitable world, nation and community.”
