WHO IS NEL DA SILVA? 

Nel Da Silva answers to; Leui Fei Chin, Mama Boho, RunBitchRun! Like all women she is many things at one time; her gifts include actress, storyteller, facilitator, priestess, performance artist, life model, art therapist, traditional midwife, marathon runner, lover and mother. She is the Founder and Artistic Director of Birthing The Mother (BTM), a NFP women's empowerment program that publicly showcases storytelling from the vagina, cervix and uterus.

In 2013 she featured in Art Party & Awkward Amazing. She was also a Mother Tongue feature artist in 2013 and 14. Last year she was Candy Royalle's Melbourne supporting artist. Her 2015 highlight was running her ass for 42.2kms raising money and awareness for the Cathy Freeman Foundation. She used her spoken word story, RunBitchRun to gift the Foundation $12.5K becoming their highest individual fundraiser ever. This life-affirming moment was topped by sharing her clip with Cathy Freeman celebrating the power of spoken word. Nel's honoured to now join the Slama family having no doubt she's in good hands; after all she does what the voices in her vagina tell her to do.

WHO IS ABE NOUK? 

Abraham ‘Abe’ Nouk is the founder and director at Creative Rebellion Youth.

Spoken-word poet, hip-hop fanatic, MC and an author whose craft developed from a realisation of the freedom of speech, Sudanese-born Abe was illiterate when he and his family arrived in Australia in 2004, as UN High Commission designated refugees. Since realising his illiteracy, he began reading and writing to improve his lyrical content for hip-hop music when it became apparent to him that ‘the best thing you can do for yourself is to feed your mind.’

Abe went on to become third in the Australian National Poetry Slam and self-published HUMBLE, his first collection in 2013.
