Open Mic & Spoken Word Night with Ibtihal Ahmed

​Join us for an evening of poetry, spoken word, and connection at Thrive Center.

​This open mic is a space for creative writers and storytellers to come together, share their voices, and uplift one another through the written and spoken word. Whether you're stepping up to read your own piece or simply coming to listen and be moved — this space is yours.

​Hosted by Ibtihal Ahmed, a Sudanese American writer and Third Culture Kid based in the DMV area. Ibtihal holds degrees in Developmental Psychology and Conflict Analysis and Resolution, and is currently working on her forthcoming book, Conversations — exploring identity and the human experience of growing up across cultures.

​Come share your voice, or simply come to listen. 🌿
