VOICES IN POWER “We are only heard if we speak” is a group of artistically inclined individuals reaching out to our local communities in the South Jersey and Philadelphia area. We began as a group of poets encouraging others to express themselves in the same manner while providing events for their voices to be heard. The Headhouse lounge on 2nd and Lombard in Philadelphia gracefully serves as the home to these events held every 3rd Sunday of the month. This event accepts talent of any form to not only foster the idea of being heard, but to fellowship with likeminded artists, thus expanding networks.

With such a passion for expressing ourselves through words, we found ways to share this passion with others outside of the VIP home events. We adopted a college tour where we visit universities in PA and NJ once a month to provide a taste of our talent and efforts of changing lives to a collegiate setting. These events include hosting a VIP spoken word event, offering students the opportunity to be heard, and collaborating with events like hair shows and fashion shows that integrate poetry.

Voices In Power has been blessed with the opportunity to touch so many lives since its birth. For this reason, VIP has grown tremendously, expanding our talents from poets to musicians, artists, web designers, comedians and we are constantly welcoming more. Occasionally, VIP is invited to perform at events by different organizations, such as cancer awareness fundraisers. Invitations like these truly represent the touching effect of the movement. “We are only heard if we speak” is embedded in our lives. This is more than mere words, it serves as a motivation to use talent as a tool to change lives in our communities.

Spread the word. Support the support. And remember “We are only heard if we speak”.
