BOSTON (WBZ NewsRadio) — Through the power of spoken word, the Boston Project Ministries on Elmhurst Street is giving Boston area youth the opportunity to showcase and develop skills during an open mic night Thursday.
WBZ's James Rojas spoke to Youth Program Manager Ahna Kielar, who says the open mic night is a great chance for young artists to hone their public speaking skills.
"It takes a lot, even for some people where its their art. To get up there and be your authentic self, is a really big moment for a lot of young people," Kielar said.
