This is an open mic with no theme and no expectations, just a mic, a listening room, and your words. Bring a poem, a spoken-word piece, a story, or something you’ve been meaning to say out loud. It can be joyful, heavy, unfinished, funny, healing, or quietly honest. With anything that feels honest in this moment.


It doesn’t have to be perfect. It doesn’t have to be polished. It just has to be yours. 


Hosted By: Sanjana Uppili 

In collaboration with: Backyard


This space is about being cathartic about saying the thing, releasing the weight, and letting your voice exist without judgment. You don’t have to be polished. You just have to be present.
