I am one of the actresses that read your work at Theatre J in Washington DC this evening. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us. Your words and stories moved us and the audience and grabbed our souls. I just want to encourage you to continue your writing. You have a gift, a wonderful, beautiful, rare gift. I am honored to have held your gift in my hands, to have spoken your gift from my lips and to continue to carry your gift in my heart.
Peace to you.

Dear Freshta,
I too read your work at the performance last night and found your words to be deeply affecting. I had the honor to read your Letter to a Poppy and was moved by the honesty and anger you were able to access. You speak directly from the depth of your heart and it is evident. I encourage you to continue writing and telling the truth.
much love and courage,
Rahaleh
Freshta, I so much enjoyed meeting you at Blogher and spending time getting to know you. You are a young woman with a beautiful spirit and one who seems to have so much wisdom at your young age. I was so inspired and honored to meet you.
The last day got hectic because I had to run up and pack, so sorry I missed saying goodbye.
Keep writing your poetry!:)
