Celebrate empowerment and culture at the 10th Anniversary of the Lipstick Wars Poetry Slam, an all-female event that amplifies the voices of women poets from across the nation! This year, we’re thrilled to showcase an incredible lineup of talented poets, each ready to share their amazing poetry and Juneteenth.

This year, we will feature international spoken word artist, Tripp Fontane. He will light up the stage with his dynamic presence and thought-provoking verses, adding a special touch to this milestone celebration.

Indulge in a vibrant atmosphere filled with delicious food, refreshing drinks and music perfectly complementing the evening’s festivities.

Don’t miss the Lipstick Wars Vendor Market, where you can discover unique products from local female artisans and businesses, celebrating creativity, self-expression, and empowerment.

Hosted by the charismatic duo Robin G and Lance “Mr. SpreadLove” Newman, this event promises to be a night of inspiration, community, uplifting women’s voices in poetry and celebrating Juneteenth. Join us in making the 2025 Lipstick Wars Poetry Slam an unforgettable experience!
