Open Mic + Community Togetherness Cafecito

About the Event

Join us for an evening of creativity, expression, and community!

This Open Mic is a space to connect with other artists and creators through poetry, song, and storytelling at large. Whether you want to perform a piece you’ve written, something you love (but didn’t write), or just soak it all in, you’re welcome here. We’ll kick things off with some writing prompts from the Community Togetherness Journey—perfect to get your ideas flowing—then engage with Latine/Hispanic Affinity Group co-facilitators Kaila and Isabella for some cafecito, sweet treats, and warm conversation.

Come early to grab snacks, sign up for the mic, and learn more about ways to get involved. Can’t wait to see you there!
