SAYS Features at Mahogany  Wednesday July 8, 2009.  Come support this dynamic group of young gifted and talented poets, as they raise funds to travel to Chicago for Brave New Voices, SAYS (Sacramento Area Youth Speaks) is a project of the Education Partnership Consortium in the Cress Center at the University of California at Davis.  The purpose of SAYS is to foster creative approaches to literary arts education and literacy development through university school partnerships.  To accomplish this, SAYS creates platforms for youth voice, student engagement, and teacher professional development both within and beyond the walls of school.  SAYS is the by-product of a partnership for youth voice involving a myriad of stakeholders from the School of Education and Academic Preparation Programs in Student Affairs at the University of California, Davis, the Twin Rivers Unified School District, the Sacramento City Unified School District, and many more.This collaborative represents a unique cross-section of individuals, all of whom are drawn to SAYS because of their commitment to improving the way young people in Sacramento are engaged and educated.

We would like to thank all of the supporters who contribute to the success of the Mahogany Urban Poetry Series.

Please continue to spread the word about poetry in Sacramento. We feel that this venue is much needed, and relevant.

Stockton doesn’t have it. Chico doesn’t.Vallejo,Oakland,San Fran, Manteca,not even Dixon has it.

Home Grown Soul. Live R&B open mic.   If you haven’t been to the Home Grown Soul Show..go ahead and slap yourself.

This is the best venue to hit Sacramento since we had “On Broadway” way back in 1998.

Live singing with the band in the background, you never know what’s going to happen.

Last week, we had singers bringing background vocalists with them.We had the finest entertainers in Cali in the house.  This Thursday, Sacramento’s FIRST open mic soul music sess ion will have  it’s 3rd show. If you sing soul, neo soul, blues, gospel,or whatever…come through this Thursday and bless the mic. You  never know who  is going to be in the audience.I met two producers last week.

 This night is sponsored in part by V101  FM, as part of the Home Grown Soul radio show that will be aired on Sundays  at 6pm.  Every Thursday at Marilyns, come check out some of the area’s to talent  on the mic. This night is 21 and over, $7 admission, full bar, 

and will be hosted  by 

Khiry Malik Moore. 908 K Street, 8pm….Platinum Bound Media Group is the official  promoter of this event, in conjunction with Aaron Devon.  It is important that we support our arts scene in Sacramento. Marilyn’s  has opened the door for us to have this event, when they normally do other genres outside of soul  music.We need to show them that our music is relevant, and can be successful in this type of  environment. So don’t spend $50 in gas going to Oakland for entertainment, spend a lot less right here in Sac…..and  have a great time!!  say word.  www.homegrownsoulshow.com
