JOIN US FOR THE PROGRESS - LIVE DC OPEN MIC SPECIAL
Join us for our first Progress LIVE!, an event series sponsored by The District Department of Transportation in partnership with Busboys and Poets Anacostia. This event will be held in conjunction with Busboys' signature poetry Open Mic Night, with a night-long literary theme of “Progress.”
During the evening’s poetry performance, community artists will speak open poetry centered on the theme of “progress”, paying homage to the FDMB’s namesake and the ideals DDOT still champions today.
hosted by Miss Kiane Ink!
Although she is a social worker by profession, she is a poet by passion. In 1997, Dinahsta launched KIANE INK. She wrote cards, poems and other writings for special events and as special gifts. In 2005, she expanded KIANE INK to include the artistry of poetic performance in which she enjoys performing poetry at special events and spoken word venues. This year; however, Kiane Ink has evolved into a perfect fusion of Dinahsta’s professional and passionate interests offering cathartic/creative writing workshops, artistic community events and individual coaching. Kiane Inkprovides a platform for hope, healing and social justice through poetry and creative expression. Because writing served as a therapeutic outlet for her during her childhood and adulthood, Dinahsta believes that poetry can help others in a similar way. In her own words, “Poetry is my friend, my catharsis….my gift to the world….”

For two hours, audiences can expect a diverse chorus of voices and a vast array of professional spoken word performers, open mic rookies, musicians and a different host every week. Expect to be moved, expect a packed house, expect the unexpected, but above all come with an open mind and ear.
