“[Lady Caress] did an amazing job with interacting with the students in the audience. Her poems and her performance on stage was phenomenal. We also had some of our own students apart of the show that opened for her. She welcomed them with open arms and wanted to introduce them herself onto the stage which was amazing…Working with her directly was amazing she was super sweet and kind…We hope to bring her back onto our campus in the future again!”
