Joy of Africa
Open Mic
What does joy mean to you?✨
Maybe it’s found in the stories we tell, the people we meet, the things we create, or simply having a space where we can show up as ourselves.
This October, Karibu Poetry invites you to Joy of Africa, a free online evening of poetry, performance and connection celebrating identity, self-expression and belonging.
We’re bringing together a global community of creatives to share their work, listen to one another and celebrate the many different stories and experiences that connect us.
