Human Trafficking Awareness Month 2023 Overcomer and Survivor Open Mic Night Presented by United Against Human Trafficking in Houston, Texas

Don’t miss a powerful evening of Overcomer and advocate voices.

Attend:

Hear the moving stories of anti-trafficking advocates and those who have overcome human trafficking. Through creative avenues like traditional storytelling, poetry, spoken word, or song, you’ll learn about healing, humanity, and what unites us.

RSVP below!

Perform:

Are you part of the world of human trafficking as someone who has lived it, knows someone who has, or are part of the movement to end it? Are you a creative person interested in sharing stories through the creative arts? Do you have something you want to express to the community?

Participants can share whatever they feel comfortable with and are under no expectation to talk about their exploitation or trauma unless they would like to.

Who can perform?

Anyone with experience surrounding human trafficking – whether it be from lived experience or as an advocate.

How do I prepare?

If you would like support in crafting your piece, we will hold 4 workshops at the end of 2022 to help you prepare. Each workshop will be focus on a topic: poetry, storytelling, spoken word, and safely sharing your story as someone who has experienced human trafficking.

Additional Notes:

Participation in this event is solely optional, and those who decide to participate will not be compensated. If we do charge a fee for the event, the fee will go towards covering the cost of producing the event.
