We will have ghibli-themed pre-movie activities including Ghibli trivia, word puzzles, coloring sheets, a temporary tattoo station (NEW), a curated playlist, and raffle giveaways! All art supplies will be provided, all you need to bring is yourself and your friends! Space and seating is limited, so make sure you come early to claim your spot. We will also by joined by @kinsco.cafe once again bringing you a Howl’s themed menu of the most amazing pastries!! Make sure you stop by their booth!

Finally, thanks you all you beautiful people, we completely filled every table, seat, and stool available in the front and back of Haibayo last month. That being said, we will be creating even more seating this month as well as doubling all of our event supplies to recreate the front room experience in the back of the cafe. This includes buying more art supplies, a second order of clip boards, a second show speaker, double the amount of prints, a bigger screen for the movie in the back, sourcing chairs from outside the store, and more. We want everyone to be able to find a comfortable seat and enjoy a great night, and your donation tickets will help us make this possible. So please consider donating on our Eventbrite page as we tackle a much bigger budget this month to bring you all the best experience possible, AND get a chance to win some wonderful prizes for donating!

Today I had the PLEASURE of having my debut album, Table For One, be featured for discussion by @dissectthediscog .

Dissecting The Discography is a monthly event on the west side of Chicago that selects one album to breakdown book club style, and this month, TFO was the album of choice. Thank you so much @dissectthediscog & @miacree_ for having me and giving me a platform to share my story and my music. It means the world, and thank you to everyone who came and shared their opinions, perspectives, and experiences on the album’s subject matter. This is a 11/10 event experience for me so thank you @miacree_ 💟

BEYOND THE TROPHY | ESMOD
The trophy represents the honor. The story behind it reveals why it was earned.

BEYOND THE TROPHY continues with EsMod, the inaugural recipient of The Emerging Visionary Award.

Blending hip-hop, musicianship, visual creativity, community, and an unmistakable sense of individuality, EsMod represents a generation of creatives unwilling to be confined to a single lane.

Since beginning his journey in 2017, he has continued to build a creative world rooted in originality, positivity, and connection—from his music and live performances to creating spaces that bring artists and audiences together. His path has taken him from cultivating community through a 22-week art event series to taking his artistry on the road with the Safe Travels tour, all while continuing to evolve what the name EsMod can represent.

And that evolution is exactly what The Emerging Visionary Award was created to recognize.

This honor celebrates a rising creative whose work demonstrates originality, purpose, and the potential to influence what comes next. Not a legacy already completed, but one actively being written.

As we bring this special part of the Creative Legacy Gala experience beyond the room, And to close his story, EsMod takes the moment for himself, trophy in hand, to share his acceptance message and reflect on what receiving this inaugural honor means to him.

Now, we invite you to experience his story.

ESMOD The Emerging Visionary Award Creative Legacy Gala | Inaugural Class of 2026

Originality as Direction. Community as Possibility. A Vision Still Unfolding.

This is his impact. This is his legacy in motion.

HISTORY BEGAN HERE.
