The Womxn of the World Poetry Slam (WOWPS) is a slam for poets who identify as women. The WOWPS community was uniquely designed to honor and celebrate the stories of women in a world that readily attempts to silence and oppress them. It is a space where we are centered, safe, and encouraged.
WOWPS was introduced to the national slam poetry community in 2008 by Kimberly Simms and Deborah Marsh. The first WOWPS was held in Detroit, Michigan and since that time, the slam has been traveling all across the United States.
WOWPS 2024 is hosted by the
Black Arts District in Baltimore, Maryland
March 27th - March 30th.
Kayla Kennedy will be representing Slam Free or Die at the WOWPS Festival this year!
