Spoken Word Workshop with Floet
Unleash your voice through the transformative power of spoken word poetry.
Floet and Keairra will get the discussion started by sharing some of their own work related to a specific theme (TBD), and then you’ll have some time to write on your own and share your work with the group. This event is free and open to all experience levels. Registration is not required.

Additionally:
Everyone who attends will receive a complementary Roethke tote or a hardcover blank journal.
