Bio
Dominique Wilkins
During our time working on PhilaLIVE together, Ariana was the backbone of the operation. Behind the scenes, she was able to attract and book top talent including poets, vocalists, painters, and live bands that our target market wanted to see. She also handled the logistics of the performance part of the show, ensuring that each one had an ambiance and smooth flow. On stage, Ariana displayed her extraordinary talent as a host and poet. She set the tone for each show and gave all of our performers warm introductions. Our audience loved her because she made the venue feel like home, so everyone was comfortable in giving energy back to the performers. Overall, Ariana is an asset to any organization that she is a part of. Her delicate mix of attitude, brains, beauty, business savvy, and warmth is unparalleled. I would love the opportunity to work with her on another project some day.
