Open Mic & TKO Society Fundraiser

Join us on July 20th at The Speakeasy at Straight to Ale. Doors/Signup at 6 PM, and the show will start promptly at 6:30 PM. Sign up and share your poetry, short stories, a piece of fiction, or any form of literary wordy goodness! Readers will get 3 minutes to share their work, please respect the time limit.

This show will also be a fundraiser for TKO Society. The Knights and Orchids Society (TKO) was founded in 2012. In 2017, TKO became the first and only AIDS Service Organization (ASO) and STD/STI clinic in the state of Alabama founded and led by Black Trans and LGBQ people. “We are community people serving the communities that we represent. Our goal is to help more Black trans, same-gender-loving, and Black queer folks access high-quality primary care and endocrinology services. The Knights and Orchids Society (TKO) envisions a future where Transgender, Queer, Bisexual, Lesbian, and Gay (LGBTQ+) Black people are empowered to live full and healthy lives free from harm. Our mission is to build the power of LGBTQ+ Black people across the south by providing a spectrum of health and wellness services.” All donations collected during this event will be matched by Out Loud HSV up to $300 and passed along to TKO Society to help them fund their operations.
