'Shareefa Energy is a London-based spoken word poet and rapper. Her lyrics encapsulate brown girl power.

She brings together poetry and hip-hop in such an articulate manner, that you can’t help but get mesmerized by her work. She’s pop culture meets romanticism, desi meets angrezi, art meets power.

Not only does she bring her presence to a stage, but she expresses important issues involved with being brown, and living abroad.' Maheen Humayun , The Tempest,
