Dear Community,

I hope this message finds you all well and inspired. I am writing to share some important updates regarding our beloved open mic events.

After much consideration and heartfelt discussions, we have decided to make a significant change to our current format. We will no longer host two separate open mics but will instead focus on running one dynamic event monthly-Spoken Easy. We will no longer be hosting our monthly open mic at troop effective today. This decision allows us to channel our energy and resources into creating larger, more impactful gatherings that celebrate our community's creativity and passion in a new way..

Our goal is to transform these gatherings into extraordinary experiences that reach further and resonate deeper. To kick this off, we're thrilled to announce that we will be hosting a series of major events every few months at new, exciting locations. These will not be just any events; they will be spectacular showcases of what makes our community unique.

One of the first big events we are working on is Culture Fest, a vibrant night of poetry and artistic expression on June 29th . We promise an unforgettable night filled with powerful voices and mesmerizing performances. Stay tuned for the event flyer and further details—we can't wait to share more with you!

Thank you for your continued support and enthusiasm. These changes are fueled by our collective desire to bring more meaningful and engaging experiences to you. We look forward to making magic together at these larger events and hope to see all of you there, sharing in the spirit of creativity and community.

With appreciation and excitement,

Executive Director of Tell Your Truth
