I lost my younger sister in the year of 2021 to suicide. From that day on I said to myself I am talking about the issues that deferred my generation and other generations down dark paths to never seeking help or guidance from love ones we care so much about them.

    I Need A Mic Podcast Ep: I Need A Mic Vlog Series Introduction

    🎙️ I NEED A MIC PODCAST IS BACK 🎙️ The mic is live. The stories are flowing. The journey continues. I'm stepping back into the conversation with new episodes, fresh perspectives, powerful poetry, and the kind of honest dialogue that connects us all. No filters. No masks. Just real experiences, authentic reflections, and the lessons that shape who we are. Through spoken word, vulnerable storytelling, meaningful interviews, and raw conversations, I'm creating a space where truth has a voice and every story matters. Each episode peels back another layer—exploring life, growth, purpose, challenges, victories, and everything in between. Whether you're looking for inspiration, encouragement, healing, or simply a place to feel seen, there's a seat waiting for you. If you've been waiting for a sign, this is it. 🎧 Press play. 🎤 Turn up the volume. ✨ Join the conversation. 🖤 Experience the journey. New episodes are here, and there's so much more on the way. Subscribe, follow, and stay connected on Spotify, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok. Hey friends and family, I hope you’re all doing well! As many of you know, I’ve been working hard to grow and improve the I Need A Mic Platform — a space dedicated to creativity, expression, and connection. To keep things moving forward and continue producing high-quality content, I’m looking to upgrade some of my equipment. If you’d like to support the platform, I’ve put together an Amazon Wishlist that includes items that would make a big difference in helping me sound and look more professional. You can check it out and see exactly what I have in mind. There’s absolutely no pressure or expectation to contribute — your encouragement and support already mean the world to me. But if you’re able and would like to help, purchasing something from the wishlist would be an amazing way to directly invest in the platform’s growth and future. Thank you all for believing in what I’m building. Every bit of support, whether it’s sharing the platform, offering feedback, or helping with equipment, truly makes a difference. With gratitude, Ray Davis Founder of I Need A Mic Platform 🎙️ https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/X573VY0L6EW6?ref_=wl_share

    I NEED A MIC: OPEN MIC POETRY

    I’ve been sitting with this moment for a while, and it still doesn’t feel real. This experience was a long time coming—something I’ve dreamed about since I was young—and I’m beyond grateful I finally got to live it. Being able to host and perform at this event meant more to me than I can fully put into words. Huge thank you to the Solano Art Council for trusting me with the space and giving me the opportunity to bring this vision to life. This is definitely something I want to do again. I originally planned to record the entire event, but ran into some technical issues with my camcorder, so I only captured two performances. Still, I’m excited to share these moments with you—including a couple of new poems that haven’t been recorded before. More content is on the way, so stay tuned. This is just the beginning. Check out the highlights here: https://linktr.ee/INeedAM

    I NEED A MIC: MY POETRY STORY VLOG SERIES

    Hey poets, writers, fans, and family— This National Poetry Month, I’m launching a brand new vlog series: I Need A Mic: My Poetry Story. I’ve shared pieces of my love for poetry before on I NEED A MIC PODCAST, but this… this is different. This series is more intimate, more raw, and more honest. I’m opening up about my writing process, and the mental and emotional struggles behind the words. Poetry has always been how I turn pain into something meaningful—into something powerful. If you’ve ever needed a voice, a release, or a reminder that you’re not alone… this is for you. Come listen to my story. 🎤🖤 #NationalPoetryMonth #PoetryCommunity #SpokenWord #WritersOfInstagram #MentalHealthAwareness #CreativeHealing #INeedAMic
