"Tuaca Kelly — Tilda Swinton-y even while performing as 'the entire cast of Star Trek' — seemed comfortable portraying everything from Queen Elizabeth to an 8-year-old nerd." — BackStage West
I had the pleasure of co-producing events with Tuaca Kelly and witnessing her spoken word poetry in action, and I can wholeheartedly say that her presence is transformative. As a collaborator, Tuaca is a force of creativity and professionalism. She brings a clear vision, dedication, and adaptability to every project, ensuring that each event is impactful and meaningful.
As a spoken word artist, Tuaca has a rare gift for capturing deep emotions and delivering them with a raw authenticity that resonates powerfully with audiences. Her performances are not only beautifully crafted but are also deeply soulful, often leaving a lasting impression on those who experience them. Tuaca's ability to blend vulnerability with strength in her words creates a space for both personal reflection and collective connection.
I highly recommend Tuaca for any project that seeks to uplift, inspire, and engage. She has an incredible ability to bring people together through her artistry and her thoughtful, compassionate approach to collaboration."

I recently experienced Tuaca's brilliance at a co-creation event. As a design thinking facilitator, I know the importance of opening events the right way. Tuaca spoke about 'genius listening,' and prepared participants to be fully present. Her own presence is a sweet combination of power and ebullience. I encourage everyone to consider Tuaca's art as a major contribution to any gathering - but especially in the corporate realm, where we can all use more self-reflection. It was the highlight of my day."

Fan-boying over getting to share the stage with Tuaca Kelly.
Probably one of the most sensual and provocative poets you SHOULD have the pleasure of seeing."
- Phillip Melchers Ue, Canadian-Dutch Storyteller
My husband and I asked Tuaca Kelly to write and perform an original bespoke poem on for our wedding. The poem,
God Gave Me You, was such a beautiful surprise! The Love expressed in the personal poem touched our hearts and many others who have the honor to read this beautiful treasure.
With her enormous passion it is clear that Tuaca writes and performs with heart and soul and shines bright light on her audience. She is very talented and we definitely recommend Tuaca Kelly to perform during your event."
