Join us Friday evening for the Boston Progress November 209 East Meets Words Open Mic! This month there will be performances by featured artists Fatimah Asghar and Jamila Woods.
As always, the open mic is a space for people to share their own thoughts and ideas about life in a safe environment without being subject to discrimination of any kind. So, please come share poetry, music, stories, monologues or just about ANYTHING! Since we’re a grassroot non-profit organization, please also bring a minimum $3 to donate if it is within your means.
The event goes down at East Meets West Bookstore at 934 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA.
We’ll also be having a Boston Progress general meeting before this event at 7PM. Anyone who would like to attend is welcome.
