Event Description: A community poetry night featuring spoken word, reflection, and voices rooted in history, faith, and lived experience. Poets NEEDED!
Poetry Night; Spoken Word is an evening of spoken word, written poetry, and reflective listening. This gathering creates space for voices shaped by history, faith, struggle, and hope—particularly within the Black experience.

Participants will share poetry that engages themes such as:

Quietness and reflection
Faith and perseverance
Freedom, justice, and memory
Personal and communal stories
This is a listening-centered space—welcoming poets, writers, and attendees who wish to reflect, support, and engage thoughtfully.

We are also looking for musical solos, like muscians, saxophone players, anyone who wants to do a creative piece.

Please get in contact via email with poem entries :

Whether you are sharing a poem or simply listening, you are invited to come with openness, respect, and curiosity.

All are welcome
