Brown-Forman Midnite Ramble Presents LIPSTICK WARS POETRY SLAM

Brown-forman Midnite Ramble presents Lipstick Wars Poetry Slam, Friday, June 17, 2022, 7:00 p.m. (Doors open at 6:00 p.m.) at Old Forester's Paristown Hall.

Lipstick Wars provides an open platform for women and girls of all races, ethnicities, and backgrounds to express their truths, struggles, and victories through the art of slam poetry.

Lipstick Wars was created in 2015 by spoken word poet Rheonna Nicole as a celebration of women. Since its creation, the slam has continued to grow to new heights by highlighting nationally ranked women poets from across the country.

This year, the slam will be a part of the Louisville Juneteenth Festival by Black Complex Louisville. Cash prizes and bragging rights from the Juneteenth Festival will be awarded to the first, second and third place poets.
