Francesca: MPC Give Miami Day Fundraiser

    “If I read a book and it makes my whole body so cold no fire can warm me, I know that is poetry. If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry. These are the only ways I know it. Is there any other way?”  

― Emily Dickinson

Why I’m Fundraising for Miami Poetry Club

I’m supporting Miami Poetry Club, a nonprofit that turns blank pages and stages into community by helping writers write, refine, and recite.

MPC is Miami’s multicultural literary home, a space where creativity and connection thrive. They offer consistent free workshops, open mics, and poetry events that make writing accessible for everyone, from first-time poets to seasoned writers. Through these gatherings, MPC creates third spaces for intellect and imagination.

Right now, we’re raising funds to:

• Expand free writing programs across Miami’s neighborhoods
• Upgrade our audio and event equipment and provide writing supplies
• Build a permanent Writer’s House (Clubhouse) that will be a home for Miami’s literary community to gather, learn, and inspire.

Miami Poetry Club believes that education is liberation and that self-expression can heal, connect, and empower. Together we are solving the communication problem by giving South Florida the tools and confidence to share their stories in real time, in their own language, on their own terms. Every dollar will help us create spaces where every voice feels heard, supported, and celebrated in community.

Join me in supporting this movement! If you write, you are a writer, and I want to see you at our workshops and events. Together, we can help turn blank pages into belonging and make Miami a city where every story shines.
