Co-hosted with Black at Microsoft (BAM) – Join BLD PWR in Houston this Juneteenth for a two-day cultural takeover powered by Kendrick Sampson’s BLD PWR and The Session R&B Jam.
Get ready to shake something, sing something, and celebrate Black joy in full force. Whether you’re here for the open mic, the soul food, or the karaoke smoke… BLD PWR’s got you.
This is where liberation meets the mic and culture hits the stage.
