A Busboys and Poetry Event hosted this week by Carlynn Newhouse
Carlynn Newhouse is a poet, educator, emcee, and performer. She is an Adobe Creativity Scholar attending Howard University, a National YoungArts Finalist, and ranked 4th in the 2020 Women of the World Poetry Slam. Her work has been featured on platforms such as Button Poetry, The Seattle Globalist, the Kennedy Center, and more. Her deep love for poetry and arts education is only matched by her commitment to social justice, youth empowerment, as well as personal and collective healing. Newhouse believes poetry is a form of activism and a tool for raising awareness in hopes of making the world a safer space.
Amplifying Women Everywhere (A.W.E.) is an intimate artistic experience featuring women identified performers. Our audience, which is open to all, will enjoy performances by poets, novelists, musicians, dancers, activists, actresses, visual artists and more. We prioritize women's voices, but all are open to perform and support. The event will have a spotlight feature of a local woman artist and continues with an open mic. Our featured artist will be interviewed and we will close out the evening with their performance.

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.
