Every first Sunday, we facilitate a safe space for marginalized voices to share stories and create genuine connections through the arts. Our organization's leaders are award-winning poets and community activists who have shared their work across the nation. All are welcome to sign up. Priority will be given to first timers for on-call. The mic will be open for every artist that would like to share and build a community with us! Open mic-ers have 4 minutes MAX.
