Still Here, Still Rising; Mental Health Awareness Open Mic Night

Some of us are healing quietly.
Some of us are healing loudly.
Some of us are healing while still carrying the weight of what we’ve survived.

Still Here, Still Rising is a mental health–centered open mic created for those who are still standing, still breathing, still choosing themselves—even when it hasn’t been easy.

This night is about resilience without perfection.
Growth without pressure.
Survival as something to be honored.

We invite poets, storytellers, musicians, and community members to share pieces rooted in healing, identity, grief, hope, liberation, and becoming. Whether you’re rising in joy, rising through pain, or rising one breath at a time—your story belongs here.

✨ LGBTQIA+ Affirming

Minors and LGBTQIA youth are welcomed and encouraged

🧠 Mental health–centered, trauma-aware space
🎤 Clean poetry and respectful expression

This is a space to be seen, to be held, and to be reminded that even in the hardest seasons—we are still here, and we are still rising.

Come share. Come listen. Come rise with us.
