You Are What You Eat - a Writing Workshop, Open Mic + Potluck

Join us for an evening of creativity, community, and cuisine! You Are What You Eat is a unique gathering that explores the intersection of food and identity through writing, sharing, and a community potluck

Food is more than sustenance! It carries memory, culture, and story. Together, we’ll write, share, and celebrate the flavors that have shaped who we were growing up and who we have become.

✨ What to Expect:

• Writing Workshop: Guided prompts to spark reflection on the role of food in your story, from family recipes to cultural traditions to personal journeys.
• Open Mic: A welcoming space to share your writing, poetry, or stories with the community.
• Potluck: Bring a dish that connects to your identity, heritage, or favorite comfort food, and enjoy a meal together.

If you bring a dish, you get a 50% off ticket !

🍴 Potluck Guidelines:
To keep things fun and safe for everyone:

• Label your dish with ingredients (especially common allergens).
• Vegetarian/vegan dishes are always welcome.
• Bring enough for 4–6 people.
• Please bring your dish ready to serve—we’ll have plates and utensils covered!
