FREE EVENT

Juni Speaks (@juni.speaks) is a poet, host, event curator, and a proud Vallejo native, who never misses an opportunity to pay homage to the city who helped shape her worldview. She's been pushing her pen and setting the record straight for almost a decade. Having hosted several open mics throughout the bay area, she is highly sought after and making a name for herself in the poetry community. She is known as a bridge in the poetry community as she often brings other artists together and gives other artists opportunities to be seen and heard. Juni's poetry echoes sounds of truth, womanhood, femininity, love letters and hip hop.
