Rebecca is a slam-winning spoken word poet from Swindon. She is the current Mayor's Poet and produces Swindon Wordsmiths (@swindonwordsmiths), a local poetry and comedy night. Writing from her lived experience of infertility, miscarriage and motherhood, Rebecca's candid poetry examines personal stories of struggle and disappointment through a lens of honesty and hope.

His spoken word journey has seen him deliver a TEDx Talk, perform to a sold-out Roundhouse in London and have his poetry displayed on billboards in Bristol.
