Last Friday night, SSS hosted a Poetry Slam Night for the La Paz colegio. The event was a success! Many highschoolers performed and around 60 people showed up.
At first, all performers were worried about the audience's reactions to their controversial, edgy poems, but every poem ended in a loud applaud. I felt relieved when no one complained about the content, one of the themes of the event was freedom of speech, being able to speak your mind openly.
Of course last minute set up changed occurred, but I've realized with SSS nothing looks good till 30 minutes before the event. With this event we didn't make much money, but the objective of the event was to share poetry, not make bank.
There was very positive feedback and we will definitely host many more of these!
