On Sept. 30, Volunteers of America of Indiana and Mariah Ivey will host an open mic night called “Convicted, Not Condemned.”
This night of song, poetry, and art will provide an opportunity for individuals to share their stories of incarceration, reentry, and liberation. Featured spoken word artists include Theon Lee, Allison Victoria, and Voice. Visual artist Deonna Craig will also create a painting (live) during the event. DJ Lady Shay and Trebles Clef will provide music.
The event will take place at Our Restaurant, 3469 N College Ave, Indianapolis, IN 46205. Doors open at 7 pm and there’s a $5 cover charge.
The funds raised by this event will support the Second Chance Mentoring Program at Volunteers of America of Indiana. Its mission is to provide the best possible tools and resources for those re-entering society after serving time in prison or jail.
