Shampooyourpoetry Reviews 

Kimba recently came to our Secondary school, recommended by another school. His words were powerful, heartfelt and inspiring. He spoke to over 800 students KS4 to KS5. Feedback from staff and students has been very positive, encouraging creativity and self expression. The staff appreciated his ability to connect with the students.

I commissioned Kimba to write a song for a well-known children's brand. What he produced was amazing. Not only did it meet the brief provided, the added enthusiasm, inspiration and refreshing approach he took to writing, producing and recording it, was absolutely brilliant!

What a dynamic and delightful individual! Every piece of feedback I've received has been overwhelmingly positive. I don't think I've ever heard children speak so passionately about poetry before!

Kimba has a remarkable ability to make every student feel valued, inspired, and confident. From his fantastic assembly for Years 3 and 4, to the engaging classroom workshops and book signing in the library, every part of the day encouraged children to embrace poetry and give their very best.

The Year 3 and Year 4 students had an absolutely wonderful time, leaving the sessions excited, motivated, and full of enthusiasm for reading and writing poetry. Kimba's energy, warmth, and passion were truly infectious, making it a memorable and inspiring experience for everyone involved.

Thank you for being apart of our Book Week!

The unique and incredibly inspiring approach to literacy that Kimba offers is one that I would love all children to experience, especially those who find reading and writing challenging. His creative workshops have a way of captivating even the most withdrawn children, instilling confidence, and helping them to create work that they are very proud of!

Kimba was absolutely fantastic and incredibly engaging from start to finish! He kicked off the day with a brilliant whole-school assembly that captivated everyone from our youngest pupils in Reception right up to Year 6. Afterward, he ran smaller breakout groups that allowed the children to get hands-on with words and poetry. 5/5!

St John's School, Northwood was delighted to welcome acclaimed poet, author, and spoken-word artist Kimba King to school today for an inspiring day of poetry workshops with pupils from Years 3, 4, 5, and 6.

Kimba brought poetry to life through his energetic performances and infectious enthusiasm, showing the boys that poetry is not simply about finding words that rhyme. Through a series of engaging activities, the boys explored how poets can use rhythm, rhyme, imagery, wordplay, and figurative language to make their writing more powerful and memorable.

The workshops encouraged the boys to experiment with language, develop their own ideas, and, most importantly, find their own voice as writers.
It was wonderful to see the boys embracing the challenge, sharing their ideas, and discovering just how much they could do with words.

A huge thank you to Kimba for an inspiring and memorable day!
