Covid-19 Statement
Kiane Ink never imagined in 2019 after hosting our 9th annual Gathering: Open Mic with a Cause that we would be forced to take a 2-year hiatus due to a pandemic! The last 24 months have certainly embodied the phrase unprecedented times. From a global medical crisis, heinous racial injustices and a tumultuous governmental administration – we have endured truly trying times. Unfortunately, the presence and impact of the pandemic persists as we enter a 3rd year.
In an effort to be a part of the solution versus the problem, Kiane Ink is committed to exercising safety. The following Covid-19 safety precautions will be upheld during Kiane Ink in person events. These safety actions will be updated in accordance with CDC data and Contraction Trends.

For this moment, the dry brown spots are a luscious green and bare limbs are laden with fruit. [...]
