Lover, Fighter, Champion, Confidant, Artist, and Poet. Toni’s poetry has
a strong emphasis on the struggles of life. She paints a picture with
words that can be heart wrenching truths. Toni Rose is the founder of
The Blue Rose, a movement that empowers others to find their voice,
speak up and be heard. Toni ‘Blue’ Rose is a spoken word artist who
became a maters level clinician who believes in Healing Through Art
Therapies. Toni pushes through the dark times, sometimes stumbling,
sometimes doubting, but never gives up hope and never gives up the
fight. Those that are willing can listen and feel that glimpse into her
soul with a gritty, real, heart wrenching and perfect in its
imperfection and purpose.
