Speak.

(Featuring The Slam Champions)

Speak is organized by a new poetry collective that seeks to give the people a voice. It is a platform for writers to share their poetry and love for the spoken word- to foster a community of individuals who want to stand up for what they believe in and share the personal stories that need to be heard.

Speak is our attempt to break into the club scene, to seed the growth of a new movement. To shed light in a dark room, where bedroom speakers come out into the open.

In all humbleness we ask of you to join us. Come Speak with us.
