“Jojo recently co-hosted our Annual Awards Ceremony alongside one of our young people, and we couldn’t have asked for a better host. Jojo brought the perfect blend of professionalism, warmth, and charisma to the evening, engaging our audience effortlessly and creating a memorable experience for everyone. Her ability to connect with people of all ages made the event feel truly welcoming and inclusive. We can’t recommend her enough.”

Jo James
Programme Director, Chiswick Book Festival
“We were delighted to welcome Jojo Silva to the Chiswick Book Festival for the first time this year. She took part in a panel recommending books to twenty-somethings and then chaired a couple of brilliant events for us, promoting young, fresh writing talent. Jojo was a delight to work with, well prepared with intelligent and thoughtful questions, and her authors enjoyed their events. We very much hope we can welcome Jojo back for more chairing in 2025.”

Stewart Collins

“Jojo is a true star and her energy is simply infectious. All our students said how grateful they were to have Jojo hosting our end-of-year showcase and that she made their night extra special.”

Michelle Brown
Digital Manager, Huddersfield Literature Festival
“Jojo was a great interviewer. She’d obviously done her homework and, having connected with Daisy in advance of the event, the session flowed naturally. It was like listening to a couple of old friends chatting, which was perfect for the subject matter. Audience feedback reflected this in the live chat. Jojo helps interviewees feel at ease, making for a great audience experience.”
