I have taught workshops in poetry writing and performance at 826 Boston, Brandeis University, Indiana University, and many other organizations. I also work as a creatuve-writing and performance mentor for Books of Hope, a youth-literacy empowerment program based in Somerville, MA.
"Dear Jade, Thank you so much for offering to do a CRR Author reading of your poetry and conduct a student/poet workshop with our students and faculty.... We received such positive responses from students and faculty about your poems' subjects and your interpretation of them. Your approach with students while holding such personalized and candid discussions about poetry, interpretation, and writing helped build a trust and bond between poet, the works, and students." - Marilyn J. Bossmann, University of Cincinnati
