Femi the DriFish’s “From the Page to the Stage” poetry performance is a spoken-word and slam-poetry journey that explores why we write and why we share our words.

Through rhyme, rhythm, body movement, and voice, Femi shows students that poems can be about:
One’s identity and history
Writing to make simple things magnificent
Social awareness and standing up to challenges
Matters of the heart—hopes, dreams, and feelings

He demonstrates how using your voice, body language, and emotions can help you connect and communicate more powerfully. The goal is to inspire students to write their own pieces and perform them with confidence.
