Poetry Series

February 8, 2024 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Join us for the Gullah Celebration, a month-long series dedicated to celebrating and promoting local Gullah and African American poets who are passionate about illuminating poetry, prose, spoken word, and other literary arts.  This extraordinary poetry series features readings by exceptional published poets and emerging talents through open mic sessions.  As a premier venue for poets, writers, artists, and performers, our Poetry Series offers groundbreaking, innovative and thought-provoking work that seeks to explore fresh aesthetic, cultural, philosophical, and political perspectives in contemporary society.

Brittany Porcher aka Ttruthseeker_thepoet (she/her) is an emerging black southern multi-disciplinary artist inclusive of writer, thespian, spoken word artist and slam poet hailing from the small rural town of Awendaw, SC.  Brittany completed her BA in Culinary Arts and Food Service Management at Johnson and Wales University Charlotte, pursuant of a MFA in Creative Writing.  Her words merge Christian doctrine, blackness, humor, faith and all unabashed truths tearing sunshine out from the things that make us whole.  Notable feats include being a Watering Hole Fellow with work published in South Carolina Bards Poetry Anthology.  FreeVerse Slam Champ and Griot & Grey Owl Slam Champ among other high-ranking accomplishments both regionally and nationally.  She’s been featured at numerous, note=worthy venues gathering much acclaim for her esoteric words and her “holy ghost, fire baptized!” performances.  She lives by thee words: “what we have, is all that we need. Oh, and someone once said I sounded like Denzel Washington.  Now I spend my days writing acceptance speeches.”
