Mannikka's passion for hip hop education is contagious, and her generous spirit and compassionate methods bring out the best in every child. She is also a brilliant spoken word artist whose performances are nuanced and thought-provoking. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

The Spoken Word program with Mannikka Rosa was the number one chart-topper curriculum event for the school year. Mannikka is a catalyst for talent, and somehow creates a safe, convivial environment for students to find their potential.

We have had the absolute privilege of working closely with Mannikka in helping our students with literacy and creativity, specifically in finding their passion and voice. Her professionalism, passion and energy are second to none.

Vibrant, joyous and dynamic are some words that come to mind when I think about Mannikka's energy and style of teaching. I needed a teacher like Mannikka, and I will always be grateful for her mentorship, concern and encouragement.

Mannikka uses her method to create a safe space for creativity, and in turn she allows her students to feel seen and heard. When she is done with her weekly private class with Mannikka, my daughter is the best version of herself.

Maya came home so incredibly invigorated and excited, which if you know anything about teenage girls is a near impossible feat, especially on a weekday. Thank you for building my girl up.

Students who would ordinarily hide their voices were willing to take chances writing and performing, which speaks volumes of the trust Mannikka was able to build in just six days.

If you are looking for a fun way to help students understand the power behind words and the importance of their voices, you've come to the right place! Students are still talking about it and wondering when we'll get another visit.
