Duncan entered the Afro–Caribbean showcase at Kingway's College and won 1st place for 2 consecutive years. This set the stage to fine tune her art and step into the shoes of the Lyrical Healer.
Writing personalised framed poetry began as presents for family and friends, this would soon turn into a business called ‘The Healing Factory.’ Being the director of her own company gave her full creative control when it came to writing her debut book ‘The Food Spiral’ which is self-published and available on www.amazon.co.uk This collection of poetry talks frankly about her struggle with food addiction.
As an artist Winsome Duncan alias is called ‘Lyrical Healer’ as well as being a performance poet she also a singer/song-writer, writing for Dionne Mitchell from X-factor plus songs for local and international artists.

- Lyrical Healer,
Just to show how much of an impact you made at the Black Girls in Business event, let me remind you of the 1st words you said "All you women in business are anointed and walking in favour!" Winsome, God's favour has located you. The stage has been set and the table has been prepared. The world is going to be impacted by your gift. Very soon, the world will be your audience and all will gather just to listen to the words of wisdom and healing that proceed from your lips. I am very happy for you. Please keep on flying. You will soar to immeasurable heights. The sky is not the limit. You are limitless!
