"Oops/No" // Jermaine Hughes // Spoken Word
"Oops/No" is a raw, emotionally-charged spoken word performance by poet Jermaine Hughes that navigates the complex terrain of personal accountability and growth. Through a powerful back-and-forth rhythm, Hughes invites the audience to witness an internal dialogue as he confronts his own missteps and mistakes, grappling with the impulse to make excuses versus courageously owning his actions.
