Wordplay Café is coming up on our one year anniversary on August 10! A year of telling stories, creating poetry, and appreciating local musicians; of creating a community that comes together to grow and support one another, and snap in agreeance with words of wisdom that ring true. To celebrate, we are super excited to be kicking off the Wordplay Café podcast on August 7! Every week you can listen in to hear us extend the conversation with local and national creatives and community builders as we learn about their origin stories and what inspires them. Sound like your jam?
