Voices Affirmed: An Exploration of Empowerment Through Spoken Word and Song

Hosted by Mari G. | Founder of Black Night Market | Singer & Tacomas Poet Laureate

Join us for Voices Affirmed — a four-part series of creative, healing-centered events rooted in poetry, music, and affirmations. This series is part of The Affirmation Junkie EP project, a collection of songs and spoken word pieces centered on empowerment, healing, and radical self-love. Each event is designed to uplift and connect Tacoma’s diverse community through intentional creativity, vulnerability, and voice. This series of events and EP project is fully supported by Tacoma Arts Initiative Project through the City of Tacoma.
