My Nonprofit Reviews

I attended my first Open Mic during the pandemic and after the killing of George Floyd. I did not know what to expect, but I was comfortable tuning in virtually. I was asked to share some form of spoken word and I read "Mother to Son" by Langston Hughes. It was great to read that piece and be able to share and relate with the other attendees at the virtual event. I loved that conversation was part of the evening - not just a performance. And we were all there to listen to each other, comfort each other, validate each other. I've gone to other Open Mics with TLI and it's always a surprise as to who will be listening and who will be sharing; but it's always worth it.
