This is What a Lesbian Looks Like
From the venue:
This is an in-person only event, which takes place at Charis Books and More. It is free to attend and no registration is required. Please read the in-person event guidelines at the bottom of this page to be sure you can participate in the event.
This year, Independent Bookstore Day and Lesbian Visibility Day fall on the same Saturday. The BEST place to celebrate BOTH is Charis!
Join us in the evening for an open mic designed for your lesbian poetry, short fiction, music, and dyke drama (no judgement)! Bring us your recountings of love at first sight, U-Haul woes, piercing and tattoo chronicles, staying besties with your ex, kinky explorations, and Subaru adventures - we want it all! The personal is political!
We will have a sign-up sheet with 5-minute slots for readers and performers available at the front at 7:15pm.
The event is free and open to all people, especially to those who have no income or low income, but we encourage and appreciate a donation of $5-20 in support of the work of Charis Circle, our programming non-profit. Charis Circle's mission is to foster sustainable feminist communities, work for social justice, and encourage the expression of diverse and marginalized voices. Donate in-person or via our website: www.chariscircle.org/donate.

All attendees must wear a face mask during the event.
We will begin seating people at 7:00PM EST. Open mic sign up will begin at 7:15PM EST.
