I had the opportunity to see HerStory at the virtual Fringe St Lou Festival. It is absolutely riveting. The choreography, the poetry, the stories - it's like a window into the performer's souls. These pieces will stay with me a long time.

I recently completed Byrd's 15 Day writing challenge. Sheltering in place caused my writing to stagnate as I am used to pulling from my environment for inspiration. But this challenge not only got me out of my rut, it helped to unblock things I didn't even know I needed to write about. In addition to providing inspirational leadership, Byrd had created the warmest, most supportive writing community I have had the pleasure of working with. Obviously, she is a gifted writer and performer, but I had no idea that she would be such a great coach too! I'm looking forward to more opportunities to learn from Byrd.

Byrd's 15/15 Writing Challenge opened a door within me that I thought had long ago closed. When I say it was "dope", I am being very literal. Each day, I wanted more and more. I'm patiently awaiting another brick, so I can get my fix.

I went into Heather Byrd’s performance expecting to be entertained, and I came out of it with a completely new perspective. She presents her striking poetry in an engaging, authentic, and unapologetic way. Attendees are encouraged to be active participants throughout the performance, and her approachable and infectious energy makes it easy to participate. The experience was deeply reflective, and I know that anyone who experiences it will be meaningfully impacted. 💕

Byrd is filled with an energy and passion that often overflow in personal encounters, but that are a targeted beam of brilliance when she performs or speaks. That transition is an impressive feat to witness, as she gathers the brightness in herself and then shines it out on an audience. It's a joy to watch her, and it's a gift to be on stage with her.

Review of Mahogany: A Love Letter to Black From the outside looking in, I marvel at the capacity of black women and men to love despite centuries of suffering endured. It can be so easy to fill themselves with hate and bitterness. But strength and resilience shine through when they show their love in spite of the inequities of past and present. Byrd’s Mahogany: A Love Letter to Black encompasses a wide range of love in the face of “pain unbearable, the psyche destroyed, and yet, I am here.” Resilience. In 10 Things I Want to Say to Black Men, Byrd displays the depth and breadth of the black man from his mind, “I pray I could put your thoughts on a pedestal,” to his skin, “the most beautiful picture I’ve ever known,” to his soul “your presence, your voice, your truth unspoken is important.” She honors and elevates him when the world tries to break him down. In Ode to Mama, Byrd joyfully exudes her love to, “My, only cuss when really mad Mama. My, laugh until cheeks hurt, tears drain from sockets, and pee decorates chair Mama.” Again, she honors her, “My, I wouldn’t want to be anybody else Mama.” Mama has lived a full life of family care and teaching, and Byrd captures how her Mama’s radiant spirit and love affects everyone she encounters. What has struck me the most about Byrd’s poetry is in depicting various forms of love, Byrd shows her own capacity to love. In portraying the haunting scarred experiences of the past and present, she embodies love by giving voice, light, and direction to the future of her brethren.

We were so lucky to have Cornell College alumna Byrd return to campus this fall— first for a Literary Careers panel, and then for Homecoming weekend, where she performed original work. Unflinching yet openhearted, her poetry embodies poetic truth. Byrd's presence, words, and vision as an artist and educator are an inspiration for younger writers and community-builders.

“Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.” -Edgar Degas Heather Byrd is the true definition of that quote. When I met her in October 2018, I had a wonderful chance to see her creations through various ways of art. I even had the honor to share the stage with her, which developed our relationship to becoming very good friends. Through her work, she inspires me daily not to adapt to this world but let the world adapt to me. I highly recommend this amazing, passionate and loving being.🙏🏾

The first time I saw Heather perform was when she was the featured artist at Young Chicago Authors, 2016, I believe. Her words were heartfelt and honest. And with the way she performs them, she knows how to include the audience, pulling us right in with her.
