September 27th means a lot to me.

I’m doing my very first Black Sofa Poetry Special, and I’ve been thinking a lot about what it means to create a space where people can come together, slow down, and actually listen to one another.

Poetry has always been one of the ways I make sense of things, tell the truth, and connect with people. The Black Sofa gives me an opportunity to share that in a different way — not just performing for a crowd, but sharing a room with people and creating an experience together.

I really want my people there.

Not because I need to fill seats, but because community is part of why I’m doing this in the first place. There are certain moments when you want to look around and see familiar faces. People who have been part of your journey. People who appreciate the art. People who simply want to sit down, listen, and share an evening together.

This being my first special makes that even more meaningful to me.

Tickets are limited, so if you plan on being there, grab yours now. I’d genuinely love to look out and see you in the room.

September 27th. Doors at 8. Showtime at 8:30.

Come sit with me.

Eight years. 💙💜

Eight years of choosing each other, growing together, laughing through the chaos, and creating a love that still feels like home.

Almost 8 years ago, we said “I do” and then went chasing sunsets, good food, and a little bit of paradise. 🌴 Last year, Bali gave us memories we’ll be talking about forever. Here’s to love that travels well. 💙🌏💜
