Mocha Mic with Millie was created to give Black voices and emerging artists a safe, welcoming space — no egos, just family, where the tribe of scribes and good vibes intertwine. You’ll also find the flyer attached — feel free to share it with friends and fam who need this kind of space. Come as you are and leave with a sense of community. I look forward to seeing you all soon.
With love,
