“I’m so grateful to have been able to work with Beka to share some of my perspectives. I found the quality of her questions drew out parts of myself I hadn’t quite articulated yet. Her genuine interest in others makes her in my opinion suited to write and share stories.”

“The Bloom Workshop creates a welcoming and inspiring space. I appreciate Beka's guidance to tap into my creativity and connect with writing as a joyful, meaningful practice." - Margaret, Bloom workshop participant

“Beka's workshop created the space for me to approach writing from a different perspective which helped me collect my thoughts, form ideas, and get started on my creative journey." - Alex, Bloom workshop participant

“I attended the workshop twice. I loved the content and the insightful activities that were conducted. The concept of plotting a 'mind map' was alien to me and by making one for myself, I found some interesting facets, about my personality that I wasn't fully aware of. Beka is not only great with words, but also wonderful with these fun and interactive workshops where one gets to meet and engage with storytellers in the making. I won't be surprised if I end up signing up for a third.” - Pooja, Bloom workshop participant

“Beka has been a huge supporter of my work and a positive force in my life. Not only is she kind and self-aware, she is incredibly organized, which makes it easy to work with her; the way that she eloquently managed all the people for her Bloom books was astounding to me. Beka lifts those up around her and that to me is true community leadership. I’m grateful for her work on securing a partrnership micro grant so she can help mentor me on my first novel. I know Beka would be an incredible teacher and mentor for so many.”
