My Projects

Denise is the Founder, CEO and Producer of “#Pop-Up Poetry series, A Denise Plays Hard Event, coming to a neighborhood near you!”This concept was birth with her second grade class students at the Mather Elementary School.  

     On April 22, 2018, to commensurate National Poetry Month, her first #Pop-Up Poetry series was in a garden in Roxbury, MA . Her students, their families and people from the community came!  Haywood Fannell was the Guest Poet, a host of students, their family members, friends and poets from the community dropped a verse and a rhyme.

      Since April 22nd 2018, Poetry has been popping up across the City of Boston and beyond!  Denise has met so many talented people along the way, of different ages, and walks of life that have a love for poetry, and enjoy using this platform to share their poems!  Empowering Communities one poem at a time!  

     This is also a health & wellness venture!  Did you know there are some health benefit to listening and writing poetry?  It improves cognitive mood, well being and stress,  just to name a few.
