✨ July 9th Open Mic Series Recap ✨

July 9, 2025

Wow — what an incredible turnout! 🎤✨ The July 9th Open Mic was yet another unforgettable night filled with energy, creativity, and community. Once again, we came together to center our youth, celebrate their gifts, and create a safe space for expression, healing, and hype!

The night was full of shining moments. We proudly spotlighted Belgissa Bah, who stepped into her moment with confidence and delivered a powerful performance that moved the entire room. Then came Kaleem, whose talents had us strapped to our seats as he shared his voice and artistry — a performance that reminded us all why this platform is so needed.

What makes this series so special is that the mic is truly open to everyone, but our young people continue to lead the way. Their courage, creativity, and authenticity light up the stage and inspire the entire community to keep showing up and supporting one another.

We are beyond thankful for another successful evening and so grateful to our partner Caroline Inspires for walking alongside us on this journey. Together, we are building something bigger than an event — we are building a movement of expression, empowerment, and community connection.

And the best part? We’re not done yet! 🎉 Mark your calendars for August 13th — the final night of this Open Mic Series. Trust us, you won’t want to miss the grand finale!
