Testimonials & Reviews

The “Originz” performances were informative and interactive. Students and staff had a wonderful time, while reflecting on some important concepts. You could feel the energy in the room and after, I had a record number of staff approach me to tell me what a great experience it was. One teacher said it was the best assembly she had ever been to! Ndidi engaged our diverse group of learners. There were clear ties to the curriculum and First Nations principles. We can’t wait to have her back! Niki Parassidis--Teacher; Gray Elementary (Delta)

Ndidi Cascade and Powy HJ's "Originz" presentation blew our school away with their ability to connect to students on their level, their incorporation of important concepts and history every student should know, and their modelling of how to put yourself out there with confidence and humility. Our "inner city" middle school students were absolutely captivated, and being able to see successful, kind, and motivated adults that created some of their favourite genre of music was inspiring to many. Samantha Dowdell---Teacher; Fraser River Middle School (New Westminter)
