Join us for an evening of open mic and our feature Shay aka Lily Bard. We'll have two rounds of open mic with our feature right in the middle.

Shay Linette Raymond, also known as the Lily Bard, is a poet and lover of LGBTQIA+ graphic novels. Always inspired by the events of life and spirituality, she writes from a place of emotion. Life, love, sex and community are themes that mean the most to her. One of her biggest inspirations is Frida Kahlo and she hopes her work will be as bold, raw, and impactful as hers. Shay lives in Dayton, Ohio with her Chiweenie, Kiaria.
