Rochelle is a page/performance poet who writes about her travels, cultural influences and personal experiences. She has been writing poetry since she was a scrawny 6 year old. Her spoken word journey began on a dreary, cold Melbourne evening in August 2011 at open mic at the Brunswick Hotel. Since then she has won an Encouragement Award at the coveted Doris Leadbetter Poetry Cup, represented Melbourne spoken word on Indifeed, been featured on Peril Magazine as a contemporary Asian-Australian poet, published two zines, wore a onesie and performed street poetry as part of the Northcote Northern Exposure Festival, won slams and organised poetry events as part of the Melbourne Fringe Festival. She has recently published a book of poetry titled 'A Converseation in Four Parts' in collaboration with 3 other amazing poets from Mumbai. She has been a judge at the first poetry slam conducted by Mood Indigo in December 2014. She also runs poetry workshops for those who share a love for poetry and those who want to discover it. She performs as often and as much as Mumbai will allow her and has recently started an open mic event in Mumbai titled "Words Tell Stories" that aims to give poets and performers a safe space to share and grow together as a community. She endorses hugs.
