Nicknamed “Brimstone,” Hannah Drake delivers a fiery message that leaves audiences on their feet. With honesty and raw conviction, her words challenge listeners to think deeply, respond boldly, and ask themselves, “What can I do to make a difference in my part of the world?” Every time Hannah steps behind a microphone, her goal is to spark transformation—offering a message that both inspires and disrupts. She understands that real change doesn't happen within the confines of comfort, but in the friction of truth. Her mission is to be the spark that ignites that change.
Hannah speaks on topics including race, feminism, equity, inclusion, women’s empowerment, and writing with authority. As a dynamic poet, her performances span themes of love, identity, self-worth, and social justice—bringing power and impact to any event.
