Women OutLoud is BACK!!! - Friday, February 26
Insight Arts' Women OutLoud! has moved. Join us on Friday, February 26 at 7 PM for Women OutLoud!, an open mic for women and women-identified writers / poets / performers, at Deta's Café (7555 North Ridge Blvd, parking on Ridge Ave.) featuring sarwat rumi.
Women OutLoud! is a venue where women can spit fiery words in a nurturing space, and men are welcome to applaud and cheer.
sarwat rumi is a Bengali American Muslim who works toward social justice as a vigilante poet and teaching artist. sarwat is a member of Mango Tribe, the vocalist for Serpent Feline, and a co-founder of akabaka productions, which strives to create safe space and build community for queer and questioning muslims and people of color. sarwat is a recipient of Community Renewal Society's 2009 35 Under 35 award for innovative leadership in the social justice movement. sarwat's poetry can be found in the anthology Voices of Resistance: Muslim Women on War, Faith, and Sexuality (Seal Press, 2006), and her two chapbooks: the inverted sun and WAR.
Come and share your words, and / or just take a break from the week's work woes and listen to fabulous women writers. Open mic starts at 7 PM and will be followed by the featured writer (sarwat rumi). $5 suggested donation, $3 for open-mic performers.
