Fresh Grounds Open Mic

The Fresh Grounds team is excited to present our second open mic event at Good Time in Long Beach! We have the honor of featuring the one and only Ra Avis!

Ra Avis (she/her) is an artist and community builder. She is a 2025 Writing Freedom Fellow with Haymarket Books, and the award winning blogger behind Rarasaur.com. Ra’s storytelling blends personal memoir with systemic critique, always centering the tender stretch toward something more than survival alone. She is the founder of Kites Library, a free archive of resource-sharing mini zines about Pr*son, and a co-founding organizer of the Biggest Little Zine Fair.
