🔥🎤 WHAT A WEEK WE HAD! 🎤🔥

The Juneteenth Kickoff Open Mic was absolutely LIT! From the poetry to the performances, from the history to the healing, the energy in the room was undeniable.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out and supported the Juneteenth 365 Festival and City Soul Cafe. What we experienced wasn't just a show—it was a celebration of culture, resilience, freedom, and community. The stories shared, the emotions felt, and the connections made reminded us why we do this work.

We are grateful for every artist, every supporter, every volunteer, and every person who continues to help us create space for voices to be heard.

Now...

🔥 WE'RE CLOSING OUT JUNE WITH A BANG! 🔥

This Wednesday is...

🎤 NEW $@ #& WEDNESDAY! 🎤

That's right! Leave those old pieces at home and bring something FRESH to the stage. We want the new poems. The new stories. The new bars. The new energy.

And there's more...

🏆 The DOPEST 3 NEW POEMS of the night will earn an opportunity to be invited to perform at SoulFuel Sunday in July!

So dig into that notebook.
Open that Notes app.
Bring that piece you've been working on.
This is your moment.
