“Our church celebrated the resurrection if Jesus Christ through a play that showcased the “Way of the Cross”. Our church reached out to Tofunmi to perform a spoken word describing the thoughts running through the mind of Jesus as he is headed up the hill to be crucified. Tofunmi was able to get into Jesus’ head space and describe the pain and anguish that He was going through. She also mentioned His death being His passion for us and how for the joy set before Him, He endured the cross. Her material was not just a masterful work but it had a touch of heaven. Super grateful for her work. Can’t wait to have her again!”
