What does FREEDOM mean to you? Tomorrow, we will get to Declare Our Freedom together! Due to popular demand, there has been a last minute venue change. Join me for the Our America Now: Expressions of Freedom, at ❗️@theovalphl on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway❗️ on Friday, July 1st from 5-8:30PM. The event is FREE and will feature fun for the whole family. There will be immersive art exhibits, beer gardens, food trucks, music, dance, spoken word, and a grand fireworks finale! I’m extra excited to be sharing the floor with rock star poets like @urucker, @starfire_369, @imsuperdope_ (founder of @voicesinpower_), @visionarythepoet, and more. I can’t wait to see additional performances by @wearetheseeds_art, @projectpositive, and @215odt. Don’t miss out! Friday night is going to be a historical celebration!
