Flashback Friday ✨

Rhythm & Rhymes in Stroudsburg with Create & Be Studio was a whole vibe last April. Celebrating Art, Diversity and culture.

The poets? They did NOT come to play! Every piece hit deep, some had us snapping, some had us speechless, and a few even had the crowd yelling “say it again!” It was nothing but talent and realness on that stage.
