Renée McRae:: Reviews

"You were an absolute sensation with the students. You had their minds mesmerized during every one of your presentations . . . you were the first presenter to have two students on nearly every chair and all the standing room space filled as well."

"Our audience of students, staff and guests were in awe of your talent and are excited about using your literature in the classroom."

"Our residents generally take on a rather cynical view of speakers and presenters . . . It is one thing to impart knowledge, it is quite another to truly inspire, to touch someone at the core of their being as you were able to do."

"On behalf of the students who were fortunate enough to attend your presentation, I want to thank you for giving them such an enriching opportunity. Your dynamic and charismatic presence electrified the classroom. Your philosophy was clear and one that students needed to hear."

"Your positive motivational message reached our children in a way that I believe will have an everlasting impact upon them. . . . I thank you for the extraordinary presentation you gave to us . . ."

"It was a pleasure to have you visit our classes and share with our students the need to set goals and directions for their lives. Your presentation was enlightening and inspiring. . . . The students are still talking about your presentation and how much they really enjoyed it."

Thank you so much for presenting at the 2002 Lumber River Youth Leadership Summit! The youth loved you and you were a pleasure to meet.

"Your ability to engage and motivate often hard to reach clients combined with your capacity to create a safe, non-threatening environment, resulted in poetry that revealed more about some individuals that I was able to elicit in traditional settings over the past year."

"Ms. McRae was simply superb and a breath of fresh air. Her poetry was very positive and really touched the heart and moved the soul. The clients were influenced by her words of rhyme."

"Thank you so much for sharing your love of poetry, creativity and infectious vivacious personality with the students of 256Q. Your involvement in all three of our residential high school sites was a wonderful addition to our curriculum. The students created poetry that was both insightful, and inspiring."

I have shared this poetry with my family, friends and other teachers. Even my father enjoys it. I ordered thirty copies! Ms. McRae’s book is a powerful teaching tool for any classroom K through 12!

"Thank you for allowing me to view the videotape of your recent performance. I enjoyed it so much, I had to play it through twice."

"Thank you for coming to our class on Friday. I enjoyed your performance. I especially enjoyed the way you free-styled it off the top of your head."

"I liked the way you were free-styling. It was ill. I liked the poetry, too. You taught me to reach for positive goals. I learned the right way to achieve my dreams."

"… So, I guess all that I can say for now is to stay as strong as you are because you are such a positive influence."

"I knew what I wanted to happen in my life. I simply lost the ability to believe … until we talked last Saturday. Thank you for renewing my faith that all things are possible."
