Write In Your Face Open Mic

Get ready to share your voice at the Write In Your Face Open Mic! This is your chance to shine in a relaxed, in-person setting where creativity flows and the vibes are chill. Whether you’re a poet, storyteller, or just love to listen, come hang out and enjoy an evening full of raw talent and good times. Show up, speak out, and be part of something awesome!

Info: Kick off the evening by connecting with fellow creatives, performers, and supporters of the arts. This is your moment to meet new faces, greet returning artists, share what you’re working on, exchange socials, and build relationships that extend beyond the stage. Whether you’re performing, supporting, or just curious about the creative community, this opening session sets the atmosphere for collaboration, encouragement, and shared energy before the mic goes live.

Info: This is the moment that sets the tone for the night. Opening the Mic is a dedicated 10-minute segment where the host — or a selected volunteer from the audience — officially launches the evening with a featured performance piece. It’s more than just going first; it’s about breaking the silence, igniting the room, and inviting every voice that follows to step forward with confidence. Once the opening piece is delivered, the mic is officially live and the stage is open.

Info: This is the heart of the night. During the Open Mic Segment, ten selected poets and spoken-word artists take the stage to share original work, personal truth, and creative fire. Each performer brings a unique voice, story, and rhythm to the room — creating a live tapestry of expression, vulnerability, courage, and craft. Whether delivering raw honesty, lyrical beauty, faith-filled reflection, or social commentary, every artist contributes to the pulse of the evening. The mic is open, the audience is present, and the moment belongs to the voices in the room.

Info: Alainna Patrice is a passionate spoken word artist, writer, and woman of faith whose voice is rooted in testimony, obedience, and spiritual transformation. A devoted wife and mother of four, Alainna openly shares her journey as a prodigal daughter returned home to Jesus Christ, using her story to encourage others to walk boldly in their God-given identity.

Her work is marked by authenticity and conviction, calling listeners to deeper intimacy with God and a life of fearless obedience.

With a heart for ministry and a gift for storytelling, Alainna Patrice uses her platform to help others step into the power God has placed within them, believing that every life carries purpose and every voice can be used for His glory.

Info: After the feature performance, we open the floor for Meet the Poet, an interactive question-and-answer segment where the audience gets a closer look into the artist behind the words. This is a moment to explore creative process, inspiration, personal journey, and the stories beneath the stage persona. It creates connection, insight, and community — reminding us that poetry is not just performed, but lived.
