TESTIMONIALS
Tayllor is truly a rising star. She is a phenomenal artist, with depth and insight and a raw wisdom beyond her years. Her work is both thoughtful and thought-provoking. Tayllor is also a passion and gifted educator, capable of inspiring anyone who has the chance to interact with her.
- Marcella Hall, Mount Holyoke College, Author and Educator
Tayllor has the rare combination of qualities that include both artistic creativity and the ability to execute. She has a firm grasp on the implementation of vision and invoking emotive expression from her students. It was a pleasure to have a truly talented artist like Taylor work with our middle school youth.
- Melany Mendoza, Mass Mentoring Partnership, Manager of Targeted Communities
Tayllor Johnson has an extraordinary gift for combining her sparkling talents for speaking truth and painting visions of humanity through poetry, with her compassion and enthusiasm for working with youth and enduring devotion to a socially just world. I have watched both middle-school and college students alike marvel in the joy and intensity Tayllor brings to spoken word performance, and walk away as I have myself from seeing and hearing her inspired to join and organize with others to make the world a better place.
- Alan Bloomgarden, Director of Community Engagement, Adjunct Lecturer in Education
I want to thank you so much for filling our space and reviving our spirits with your poetry, your story, your family. We were truly inspired. This day was exactly what so many of my students (and I), in this, too often - system of painfully flat academic rigor-- needed to get through the next two months. Thank you so much for taking time to share yourself with us. We will not forget this day.
- Jenny Grove, Park Rose Middle School, Educator
