JUST BE(LOVED) Poetry Slam & Open Mic

JustBe(Loved) is a poetry slam and open mic that occurs every 1st & 3rd Friday at JustBook-ish and is curated by Emmanuel Oppong-Yeboah and Crystal Valentine. This month’s feature will be Micah Rose.

micah rose kindles soft ferocity, in ode to titas and cousins and lolas who show us ways we love. They share traditions like story circles, yoga, and taiko as paths for communal care. She conjures at Arts Connect International, helping brew artist-led experiments as a co-director of emergence. Micah is thankful to learn & practice with chosen families ~ including peoples who collab at the Cultural Equity Incubator, Pao Arts Center, The Theater Offensive, Luya Poetry, Company One Theatre, The Design Studio for Social Intervention, and beyond. Toward Lumad sovereignty on her motherislands, Rose organizes with Liyang Network and weaves an Instagram avatar @micah_pdf.
