Sometimes, during elevation - within our job, personal endeavors, family situations- whatever it looks like for us - misunderstandings appear with those we counted on for support.
When “they” do not understand the vision, what do we do, what do we say? What do we tell ourselves during our waiting.
How do we stand ten toes down for what WE believe
We want to hear from you! How do you stay rooted and unapologetic in your journey? How do you stay connected to the path to reach the point of success, and one there, how do remain authentic.
YES, we want to hear it all through your art. Remember, healing and empowerment roots beautifully in communion.
The theme for our open mic is inspired by Dj Khaleds song, “Sorry Not Sorry” , featuring Nas, JAY-Z & James Fauntleroy and Harmonies by The Hive. This song has been highly applauded, used as the soundtrack for many that are embracing and celebrating their journey to success. Slight hints of their journey as artist and entrepreneurs are found in the bars, mixed with rhythmic vibes and vocals by who many call Queen B.
When the harvest comes, we can smile, shine and not apologize for dwelling in the fruits of our seasonal labor. However, while we wait, why shouldn’t we create?
At The Listening, we want to invite you to share your story through the arts. We look forward to seeing you on Thursday, October 19th, 2023. And at this open mic event, we will give you our familiar greeting and invitation:
