  • Ode to Babel 772 Dean Street Brooklyn, NY, 11238 United States (map)
“I refuse to break myself into dust
For people too weak to carry my name in their mouths.”
— Hiwot Adilow

BRN GRL SPK is back with another open mic! This night's theme is SAY MY NAME - a call to reclaim our identities and experiences and use them to create our own narratives. What does it mean to claim a name? To demand your story be acknowledged?

Come out and show off your skills - music, song, poetry, dance - we want to see it all! Slots fill up fast, so come early!
