Jewel Rodgers | All About Love
October 8, 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm
North Omaha Music and Arts (NOMA)
2510 N 24th St
Join artist and 2026 Amplfiy Fellow Jewel Rodgers at NOMA on October 8, 7:00 pm for a live performance of All About Love, a new work that fuses spoken word and jazz traditions to explore love as an active practice of self-awareness, reflection, and repair.
All About Love considers what it means to practice love within bodies and communities shaped by histories of violence, resilience, and survival. Through spoken word and jazz, Rodgers invites us to consider love as an ongoing practice that asks us to look inward, reckon with what we carry, and understand what it means to love more deeply.
Free and open to all. Please RSVP.
