My name is Niah Rivera, I am a Junior in Liberty and I want to invite you guys to support my LTI project!

 

I intern at Tell Your Truth, a non-profit that works hard to create free open mics for the state of RI. I did some research and found out there was no free open mic dedicated to the youth of RI.

 

 So that when I started my junior year LTI project, to create this amazing event! So, on April 26th from 3:15-6:00 pm, we will have our first monthly free youth open mic at Founders Hall on the Public Street Campus. 

 

What is an Open Mic?

It’s an event where anyone is allowed to tell jokes, perform poetry, sing, dance, present pitches, & much more!

 

What is poetry?

Poetry is a form of writing that  uses different techniques to artistically convey a story. It can have any theme and technique! 

 

Typically at open mins it’s usually centered around something your passionate about in a freestyle or free verse type!
