Ignite The Mic presents, “NeoSoul Sunday.”

Do something different with your Sunday evening. We invite everyone to join us for an amazing night of artistry as poets, singers, and musicians grace the stage.

Ignite The Mic Alexandria is the longest running poetry organization in Central Louisiana, and the number one gathering place for artists and lovers of the arts. Ignite The Mic is a local and privately funded creative initiative centered around unity, inclusion, diversity, and healing through the arts. We believe freedom of speech, self-determination, and the pursuit of creative excellence are inalienable rights. Furthermore, we believe poetry can be used to create a healthy dialogue about issues, often deemed taboo to discuss. We strive to create an understanding and appreciation for diverse perspectives by cultivating and amplifying creative voices. The purpose of this event is to promote the creation and performance of art that engages communities and provides a platform for artistic voices to be heard uncensored.

Featured Artist of the Night: Born in Opelousas, Louisiana, Chrystal Doomes is the youngest of four children. Basketball, poetry, painting, singing, and writing took up most of the idle time. After graduating high school, Chrystal joined the Navy and served proudly before being honorably discharged in July of 2011. Graduating as an Art major in 2018, Chrystal decided to pursue her dream of being a singer and songwriter. She is a non-profit artist whose plan is not to make a living, but to make a difference.

Chrystal Doomes is a Christian woman with generations of pastors on her late father’s side of the family. Keeping that first, the focus is to be a positive force in the industry. To uplift, while developing a since of urgency among us to break history’s cycle of black on black crime. A movement to shed a light on how we treat our own race. Chrystal admitted that this is not something to accomplish alone. She holds faith that soon, she won’t have too.

Poets, singers, musicians, and more: the stage is yours! Want to sign up to showcase your talent? We’d love to have you. Contact: 318.769.9903
