Tania Wilson

Tania Wilson is poetry in motion. No, seriously, even while she's walking she can recite poetry.

However, this young poet, through the good times and bad times, she's the kind of friend that you always want by your side. Tania on the other hand, is focused on her craft in writing poems and her school work.

Hiney Rollpart

Oh, and Hiney likes pistachio ice-cream or anything made with pistachio.
