I Need A Mic

Rachel Davis

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: OPEN MIC POETRY

    On September 24th, I made a risky decision to chase a thrill on my electric scooter, and that decision resultedd in few serious ininjuries: includes a fractured right elbow. As I share this update, I’m preparing for surgery and beginning a journey of physical, emotional, and mental recovery. In this open mic performance, I’m opening up about my current condition, the consequences of my choices, and the reality of facing an unexpected challenge that has temporarily changed my life. I take accountability for the risk I chose to take, but I also recognize that one decision does not have to define my entire story. For me, I Need A Mic is more than a podcast. It’s a space for truth, vulnerability, poetry, storytelling, and healing through artistic expression. Although I’m navigating a difficult chapter, I refuse to let this injury silence my voice or take away my passion for the art I love. There is still so much I need to process, and in upcoming episodes, I plan to share more of this journey through poetry, personal reflection, and honest storytelling. This is not just a story about an injury. It’s a story about accountability, resilience, self-discovery, and learning how to move forward when life doesn't go according to plan. To my friends, family, listeners, and supporters: thank you for being part of my journey. And if you know me personally or happen to see me around Vallejo, California, I have one simple request: give me a hug and remind me that things are going to be okay. Sometimes, we don't need advice or answers. Sometimes, we just need to feel supported. This is a new chapter in my life, and I'm choosing to face it one day at a time. My body is healing. My story continues. And I still need a mic. 🎙️❤️ Thank you for listening and being part of the journey.

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.
