Food 4 thought is Virginia's FIRST big money poetry slma held at Sunday Service Soul Food on Friday October 1,2021. Sixteen competitors fromn here in Virginia and all over the nation are coming to compete for a grand prize of $1000 and a chance to declare themselves champion of our first poetry slam. We will also have local musician Nickey McMullen as a headling performer for this event. Food 4 Thought Poetry Slam will be co-hosted by Richmond's first Poet Laureate Roscoe Burnems and Individual World Poetry Slam champion Breeze the Poet.

The number '4' in Food 4 Thought Poetry Slam is indicative of 4 platforms, The Writer's Den (Roscoe), Lifeline Poetry (Breeze), Sunday Service Soul Food (Charles) and Open All That Soul open mic (Jasmine,myself) coming together for a common cause to showcase the art of a poetry slam and hopefully encourage more poets to come express their craft.
