Spoken Word: Voices Unleashed
About the Event
Thursday, January 23
9-10 PM ET
virtual event; open to all mentees, mentors & members
Unlock your inner poet with “Spoken Word: Voices Unleashed”! Join us in learning the art of crafting and performing powerful spoken word poetry. Dive into various styles, master essential elements, and create your own captivating pieces. No prior experience is needed—just bring your voice and let it soar!
This month, participants will listen to two spoken-word poems: both embody intense emotions that use poetry as a way of processing. They will spot similarities and differences, engage in a creative conversation, and ultimately craft their own.
