“Carry Their Name” — Storytelling open mic to remember loved ones

Guerilla Poets is hosting a free event, Carry Their Name, on Saturday, December 15th, 2018, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., at Charlotte Art League, 4100 Raleigh Street.

At this event you can bring a photo of a loved one you have lost and share a story about them. After sharing your story, the crowd responds with the person’s name and you will get handed a complimentary candle to light in their honor.

The event is free, but donations are being collected for Behailu Arts Academy, an after school program for students with little to no access to the arts.

All ages are welcome.
