Join us for our final So Much Together workshop of the season! Cultural activist, emcee, poet, and writer Mic Crenshaw will lead a collaborative workshop exploring the power of rhythm, rhyme, and storytelling as tools for self-expression and social change.

Through rap, poetry, spoken word, and call-and-response, participants will discover how to craft meaningful, original, and transformative messages that reflect their perspectives and purpose.

Participants are invited to join us a half hour before and/or after each workshop for snacks and community building time (optional).
