Projects

speaking words

Eshmit began writing and performing spoken word pieces inspired by her heritage and her Faith four years ago. She introduced herself as a spoken word artist on social media platforms, which led to her performing across the country in venues such as The Arts Theatre, West End; Parliament; Trafalgar Square and eventually made her mark in Vancouver, BC in 2016. She uses spoken word to challenge social injustice and to promote, encourage and empower listeners.

talks & workshops

Eshmit is a freelance spoken word, creative writing and performance art facilitator. She has hosted sessions at camps, schools and universities, often aiming to promote healthy wellbeing by using drama techniques as a creative outlet for attendees. She has hosted workshops to a diverse range of audiences between the ages of 5 to 25. Her past experience includes working with victims of sexual grooming and abuse, refugee children, autistic individuals and young people that encounter sexual behaviour difficulties as a part of her Dramatherapy Clinical Placement. Her current Clinical Placement is in an inpatient adult mental health service.
