Hosted by local writer and poet Amaka Felly Obioji with the support of Pen to Print, this special Open Mic Night is part of our celebrations for Black History Month and National Poetry Day.

The evening will showcase powerful performances from guest poets Michelle Nnayelugo, Eyitayo Salami, Nisola Jegede and Danny Baxter. Whether you're a seasoned performer or a passionate poetry lover, this is a space to connect, reflect, and celebrate voices that inspire and empower.

Please note there are 10 open mic slots available for you to participate. Email us directly at pentoprint@lbbd.gov.uk if you'd like to perform on the night!

Have your voices heard at Dagenham Library and connect with like-minded people.
