About this Event
BUILT TO BE HEARD
A Curated Open Mic Experience
Sunday, September 27, 2026
Raleigh, NC
Built to Be Heard is a curated open mic experience created for voices, stories, ideas, and creative expression that deserve space to be heard.
Throughout the evening, selected participants will take the stage to share original work, personal perspectives, and stories rooted in entrepreneurship, creativity, identity, culture, and community.
This is not a traditional business presentation or pitch competition. Built to Be Heard creates an intentional space where storytelling and creative expression become tools for connection, visibility, and impact.
WHAT TO EXPECT
• Curated open mic performances
• Storytelling and spoken-word expression
• Perspectives from entrepreneurs and creatives
• An intimate, culturally grounded atmosphere
• Meaningful connection through shared experiences
Whether you take the stage or join the audience, Built to Be Heard invites you to listen closely, connect deeply, and experience the power of voices with something meaningful to say.
Capacity is limited. Advance registration is encouraged.
