Rachelle participated in the GOBS Collective's Poetry Slam on Saturday 8th June 2024 as scheduled for Nottingham Poetry Festival. There were four judges comprising of Ioney Smallhorne (GOBS Co-founder), Jake Wild Hall (Bad Betty Press), Oli Nichol (Co-Chair of Nottingham UNESCO City of Literature's Youth Advisory Board) and Carolina Rodrigues (Nottingham Poetry Festival). They judged each contestant on innovative use of poetic technique in writing, engaging energy and clear delivery in performance, and stage presence and connection to the audience. 

There were two heats from which four poets with the highest scores were selected to take part in the final. There was a £200 cash prize along with the opportunity to represent Nottingham in UNESCO City of Lit's international competition, Slam-O-Vision. Rachelle got through to the final of the competition with her performance of her poem 'Chit Chat' which can be viewed in the video below.
