Two years ago, I stood in front of a mic, heart pounding, with a vision rooted in purpose — to create space for voices like mine. Spaces where poetry wasn’t just a performance, but a pulse. Today, that vision has grown into something greater than I ever imagined.
I Am Poetry just turned two years old, and we’re still here — stronger, louder, and more intentional than ever.
What started as a mic and a message…
…has become a full-blown movement.
From intimate gatherings to standing-room-only open mics, the I Am Poetry Show has evolved into a sanctuary — a stage where healing meets artistry, where raw expression is met with roaring applause, and where every “I Am” declaration is celebrated. Month after month, we've witnessed poets spill their truths, artists find their tribe, and audiences leave feeling seen.
This Year’s Celebration Was One for the Books 🎉
The 2-year anniversary show wasn’t just a milestone — it was a moment. A beautiful blend of past, present, and future. We had returning performers who’ve grown alongside the brand and new voices who lit up the stage like they were born to be there. The energy? Unmatched. The poetry? Unfiltered. The community? Unbreakable.
From the bonfire crackles to the heartfelt standing ovations, the night reminded us why we do this. Why we show up. Why art matters.
What We've Built Together
--Over 20 unforgettable shows
--Hundreds of performers from all walks of life
--A growing community of creatives, supporters, and believers
--The I Am Poetry apparel line — wearable affirmations that let the world know you are poetry
--The launch of the I Am Poetry Foundation, creating resources and opportunities for artists to grow
Why We Keep Going
Because there's power in poetry.
Because there’s someone out there who still hasn’t found their voice — and they’re looking for a mic.
Because the world needs more safe spaces for expression, connection, and healing.
Because we are the proof that poetry still lives, breathes, and builds community.
Thank You
To every poet who ever picked up the mic.
To every person who pulled up to a show.
To every hoodie wearer, every social media share, every donation, every clap, every tear.
Thank you.
You didn’t just witness the vision — you became part of it.
What’s Next?
We're dreaming even bigger — from more shows and new merch drops to our future home, the I Am Poetry Lounge, where creativity will have a permanent address.
The mic is still hot, the mission is still alive, and the journey is just getting started.
If you’ve ever been to an I Am Poetry show, you know it’s more than just an event — it’s an experience.
If you haven’t yet, we’ll see you at the next one.
Because you are poetry, too.
