Emanuel Xavier, an amazing poet and spoken word artist, will be hitting the stage at the NYC LGBT Community Center on Thursday, September 29th at 7pm. ALL proceeds will benefit the Center’s Youth Enrichment Services (YES) program.

The suggested minimum donation for this event is $5 but more will be greatly appreciated (checks can be made out to The LGBT Community Center with YES program written in the Memo).

From the email announcement of this performance:

Those of you familiar with my personal history know why this means so much to me. In the midst of everything going on in the world, let’s not forget how important it is to support young, marginalized individuals who will shape our future while struggling against continued oppression and hatred.” – Emanuel Xavier
