Retta Reviews

Retta was very welcoming to the idea of the sit-down session w/ the staff.
Google LLC - Dec 14 2020 -
"The event with Retta was amazing! She had a great comedy act, and then she took questions from the audience. She also helped us with a Raffle for tickets to a separate event and had a twitter contest in the middle of her show, which the students loved. The reception afterwards went well too! She chatted with all the students, and took pictures from our hired photographer, as well as selfies with a lot of students."
