Naomi Veldwijk

Naomi Veldwijk is a writer, poet and spoken word artist who also teaches creative writing and theatre to youth from 12-21 years. She started writing when she was only 8 years old. She moved from children’s bedtime stories to song lyrics and now performs on stage with her spoken word poetry. It all began in 2013 when she won a talent show 'Violencia'. A year later she made it to the finals of another talent show 'Fanatics'. You can also ask her to write personal poems for your birthday, team building day or a special occasion such as Black Rebels’ program at the International Film Festival Rotterdam where she has performed. Currently, Naomi is the house poet of talk show Fresh, where she listens to the guest speakers and performs a piece on the spot.
