Spoken Word Open Mic Speak LIFE!

Beautiful People!

Born out of our Juneteenth Celebration and back by popular demand! Let's gather for another session of Spoken Word!

In this cypher we speak peace, blessings and transformation from a place of sovereignty. We celebrate beauty, growth and choose to speak LIFE!

Come with your original piece. Your supportive presence in the audience is also invited.

All skill levels welcome!

This is a life-affirming, uplifting event. Let's keep it elevated. Please refrain from profanity and slurs.

Background and Vision

This is a newly forming cypher inspired by our Juneteenth Celebration. We are still developing a core of poets and audience members.

Core Values & Ethos

We celebrate LIFE! We recognize that the tongue has the power of life and death. We choose to speak life.

We practice impeccable speech, using our voices to bless and encourage. We speak of our transformation, rather than rehashing our trauma.

We honour the whole human family. We celebrate one another, our accomplishments, our breakthroughs, our resilience, success and prosperity.

This is a celebratory atmosphere. May your piece express gratitude and appreciation for all the richness and beauty of life.
