💫Event Host💫
Kosi - Poet & Creator of Actually Series 

Kosi uses her poetry as a powerful tool to spread positivity and inspire others on their personal journeys toward realising their fullest potential.

In November 2024, she launched Actually Mine, the first event in the Actually Series. This event was created to empower and uplift women embracing their natural hair journeys.

Following the success of Actually Mine, Kosi expanded the series with Actually Spoken—an open mic event designed to remind people of the transformative power of words actually spoken.

Kosi firmly believes that by embracing our authentic selves, we can share our stories and experiences — helping us learn from one another as we move forward to make positive impact in the world around us.✨
