When Brothers Speak

North America's largest and longest running spoken word concert series, returns to the  St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts, for a single night: Saturday November 14th.

Curated and hosted by Dwayne Morgan, this evening will bring an uncensored forum that allows Black male poets to share work on their life experiences at a time when race is a major news story due to the Black Lives Matter movement and recent events on the national spoken word scene.

"To have 500 people sit in a theatre to hear our stories is a truly validating experience ", says Morgan. In a world where the Black experience is often told through news headlines, When Brothers Speak, offers a first hand look at what it means to be a Black man in 2015.

Featured Performances:

J.G.The Juggernaught - 2015 Last poet Standing Champion

Jamaal St. John - seven time  Toronto International Peotry Slam Champion

Scribe, Tuggstar,and Jahvon Johnson - Canadian National Slam Finalists

West Hill has previously welcomed Dwayne Morgan to join us during the "Speaking Out: Queer Youth in Focus evening during World Pride" and we look forward to welcoming him back to work with us to organize an event like this for youth in our area.
