Movement In Words presents: UNCHAINED! It's more than an open mic, it’s a bold declaration of artistic freedom, resilience, and identity.
About this Event

Hosted by Jeffrey L. Walker, this electrifying evening marks the debut of our featured artist, Jeff-Free. With raw intensity, Jeff-Free takes the stage, unveiling a powerful collection of pieces that will immerse you deep into his world.  In this milestone evening, Jeff-Free invites you along on his reflection of the journey that has shaped his 38 years of life. His poetry explores the intricate duality of his existence as a Black man in America, delving into the tension between personal growth and societal injustice, between vulnerability and strength, between survival and defiance.

At its core, UNCHAINED represents liberation, pride, and unity. This is an open invitation for artists, poets, and revolutionaries to step forward, claim the mic, and express yourself without restraint.

Whether you're performing or soaking in the energy, expect a night filled with passion, raw emotion, and the undeniably mobilizing power of our WORDS.
