Open Stage at the Poetry Potluck

Mixtape Anthology v2 "TRIGGER WARNING"

Our mixtape anthologies are a compilation of music, poetry, speeches, and varying sound bites. This curation is meant to be an extension of the "The Open Stage", providing an opportunity to further amplify the artists who share their stories with us. It is a listening space, a learning space, and a living artifact. Trigger Warning, was created with the idea of Freedom of Creativity at the forefront. Living in a world where AI can create art, we felt it was important to provide a reminder to breathe and create. All while having some type of pride.🖤🆘 The CUZZINs would like to thank and credit: Production & Editing by Erase the Hate Music mix by Dj SOS Mindful meditation by Say Sukii Sound therapy by Stephalie Canto Appearances from "The Open Stage" by: James Klynn Marcano Saxx Epiphany Jay Mel de Miami

@jillrxse celebrating National Poetry Month 2024 at the Poetry Potluck

Poem: "Promise Land" About the poet: From a small town near Savannah, GA. I’ve been writing since a young age but i started performing at Valdosta State University thanks to a friend who convinced me to share. I became the President of Deep Release Poetry Society and performing has been my therapy every since. I’ve performed in my hometown, Jacksonville, Orlando, New York and now Miami. I plan on touching every stage I can and sharing my vulnerability with those who are open to listen. Sounds by: @DJSOS Production by: Erace the Hate Media
