The evening will also be a tribute to our recently transitioned poet and mental health advocate, TONYA INGRAM 
Street Poets was honored to host Tonya as the featured poet at one of our community open-mic events last fall and she blessed us all as she has blessed so many spaces coast to coast with her grace, compassion, humor and powerful poetic medicine. Tonya was like family to two of our program director’s, Alyesha Wise and Matthew Cuban, and we are very grateful to continue celebrating Tonya’s life on this evening. We also invite those signing the open mic list to bring poems written by Tonya Ingram to read, if you choose.
Come join us at @comunitymade for food and medicine for the body, mind, soul and spirit.
