About [Edit]
Everyone has something to say. Everyone has something unique and essential to offer the world. And that includes you. Speak Your Soul encourages the thoughtful and creative expression of every individual, the exchange of ideas and application of passion through action in the human community. On speakyoursoul.org you will find ideas that incite your mind, poems that stir your soul, and community resources that inspire you to act.
Speak Your Soul encourages every individual to discover their own voice and power and live out their unique and essential identity in mind, body, and spirit. Speak Your Soul is a young organization seeking community partners and Spoken Word poets to partner with and feature on speakyoursoul.org. Though based in Tacoma, Speak Your Soul is seeking to support and expand the presence of Spoken Word poetry across the United States.
September 2008 Update:
We hit a milestone in August: Speakyoursoul.org welcomed our 1,000th visit to the site. Over 700 different people from 35 states and 27 countries (in every inhabited continent) have visited the site - keep spreading the word!
And this month at the open mic, we are doing something special. It's a big election year and one important yet simple application of "think. speak. change the world." is to vote. We will have a voter registration table up and running during the open mic on September 12th and encourage you and any unregistered friends to come and get ready for November 4th.
