For me, art is community, and community is central to art. As a culture bearer and as one who builds community, I'm always happy to host community centric open mics. This is Open Mic Night At Katie's Cup I host monthly. #openmic #openmike #communityart #song #music #poetry

Yes, words matter. Words I gather, write, recite, take flight, storyteller well. Spell. Speller. Spelling the compelling. I dwell in the land of words, syllables, and sounds; sounds profound where the linguists get down! I get down with words, stanza after stanza, chapter after chapter. #wordsmatter
