energetic and attention grabbing

KaNikki Jakarta was a pleasure to have at Isaac Gourdine’s First Annual Poetry Showcase. Her performance was energetic and attention grabbing. KaNikki shared relatable pieces that resonated with all who were in attendance. We look forward to her participation again.

most amazing day of my life

My wedding day was singularly the most amazing day of my life. Surrounded by friends and family, I could not have asked for a more picture perfect day.

One of the most memorable and talked about moment of my special day was KaNikki Jakarta's reading of a poem she wrote for my spouse and I. Her ability to craft and eloquently tell the tale of our love story met and exceeded our expectations. I would assert that anyone fortunate enough to have her write and recite a poem for their special occasion will not be disappointed. I wholeheartedly recommend acquiring the services of KaNikki Jakarta. Her written work and performance ability will take any event to the next level.

pure and from the heart

An amazing wedding is what I had: From the beautiful scenery to my stunning gown. My day was filled with love wonderful friends and family. The best part was not just marrying my friend but the lady that also stood next to us on that victorious day. The words she spoke was pure and from the heart and she speaks with such elegance and Grace, she will bring that extra something special to your amazing day. Her name is none other than yes, that's right Mrs. KANIKKI J. If you want that extra topping to a wonderful day this is the lady that can make it happen.

spirited, talented, and inspirational

KaNikki is one of the most spirited, talented, and inspirational poets that I know. Her energy that she transfers to her audience when she hosts and when teaches workshops are beyond impeccable. You learn not only more about your craft, but you also learn more about yourself as an individual. Every open mic and workshop that she hosts is full of life and I highly recommend that you take time to experience the talent she has been gifted.

helping other poets to grow and shine

KaNikki Jakarta brings knowledge, dynamism, and warmth to performing poetry, hosting open mic nights, and leading workshops. I’ve attended three of her Write Like a Woman workshops as well as numerous performances and open mics. As a poet, KaNikki dazzles through her command of diction and narrative. As a teacher and host, she continually impresses and moves me through her commitment to sharing the art form that she loves and helping other poets to grow and shine.

best thing that happened to us!

KaNikki Jakarta was the best thing that happened to us! She helped coordinate everything and when our venue became difficult, she handled all the hang-ups seamlessly. She provided a heart-warming poem that made our special day one to remember forever. My wife and I were more than pleased with the care and attention and all her contributions both professionally and artistically to our wedding day.

significant part in my special day

KaNikki Jakarta was amazing to say the least. She wrote a beautiful poem that was personalized to my husband and I. KaNikki also coordinated the wedding ceremony and the reception. She helped with the setup before the ceremony. She helped me leading up to the wedding by lessening my stress and helping me turn ideas into reality. I am forever grateful for her and I am proud to say she had such a significant part in my special day.

KaNikki helped me to develop actionable goals

My consultation with KaNikki helped me to develop actionable goals on my journey to sharing my poetry with readers. KaNikki helped me to navigate decisions regarding publishing, and she helped me develop my query letter to best represent my manuscript. After our consultation, I felt more confident in my vision for my book and I felt grateful to have been given advice from such a caring, successful writer.

I received far more than I expected from my meeting!

What more can I say about my consultation appointment with Ms. KaNikki Jakarta, other than I received far more than I expected from my meeting! She is truly a wealth of knowledge. I met with her for a business startup consultation (Oh yes - she does it all!), and the meeting was well-organized, beneficial, and worth the consultation fee. The information I received superseded my expectations. I received resources and connections that will help me as I move forward with my startup. I am thankful to have had the opportunity to connect with Ms. KaNikki, and I highly encourage others to inquire about her services. To have accomplished so much in her career, Ms. KaNikki is a sweetheart and down to earth. I humbly thank you again, Ms. KaNikki, for taking the time to speak with me. You are a blessing to others.
