The 4th Annual Black Voices Matter is back at Manoa Valley Theatre with 2 special guests! International Spoken Word Artists Prentice Powell & Shawn William will be kicking off their For Your Consideration '24 Tour live in Honolulu! The Grammys have added a new Spoken Word category in 2023 specifically for poets and this alum will be in the running for 2024. THIS IS HISTORY IN THE MAKING! So come out on Friday, Feb 17th and Saturday, Feb 18th to be a part of this historic live event! Doors open at 7pm.

For Your Consideration is a celebration of brotherhood. A two-decade tutorial in spoken word craftsmanship mixed with ‘Black Boy Joy’. It speaks eloquently on fatherhood, depression, relationships, home and street life, childhood trauma, love and heartache in a way never touched before by any artists. After multiple sold out shows in Oakland, CA., and Hollywood, CA., Prentice & Shawn have taken their two man show on the road with a 16 city tour across the country, to promote their new Live album “For Your Consideration”, while showing the world what levels can be reached when words mix with passion.
