Event Description: LET IT FLOW at the House of Playokee
The House of Playokee is more than a venue.
It’s a creative home. A space rooted in culture, art, and community. It’s a place where voices are protected, stories are honored, and artists are treated with care. Add to that a full menu that keeps people coming back, and you understand why this room feels different.
From flavorful comfort food to vegan friendly options, the House of Playokee serves real meals, not bar snacks. Your words are fed and so is your body. Plus it’s BYOB when you purchase a pitcher.
Leah James is a spoken word poet whose work lives at the intersection of truth, vulnerability, and lived experience. Her performances are rooted in honesty, inviting audiences to sit with emotions that are often left unspoken. With a delivery that is both powerful and intimate, Leah uses language to explore identity, relationships, healing, and the quiet moments that shape who we become.
Whether on a crowded stage or in an intimate room, Leah’s words carry intention. She does not rush the moment. She allows the poem to breathe, creating space for listeners to reflect, feel, and connect. Her work reminds us that poetry is not just something we hear, but something we carry with us long after the mic is passed.
Leah James is a voice that stays with you.
Hosted by Elijah M. Brown, Let It Flow continues to be a trusted space where truth leads and vulnerability is respected. With over 20 years of creating platforms for artists, Elijah brings intention to the mic and makes sure the room stays welcoming for first timers and seasoned performers alike.
Come hungry for words.
Leave full in every way.
Let it flow.
