About Brother's Keeper Legacy Gala
Six voices, two companies, one mission. A night dedicated to the Arts, Poetry, Live Music, and Theatre. We hustle together, we rise together.
The Hustle and House of Vox, two not for profit CIC’s in partnership present a powerful youth takeover spotlighting bold, honest storytelling through spoken word and multidisciplinary performances and live music. A fundraiser in tribute to keeping Brother’s Keeper running and to get it on tour.
Rooted in brotherhood, wellbeing and creative expression, House of Vox creates space for young black men and marginalised voices to be seen, heard and celebrated without compromise. The event features extracts from Brother’s Keeper, an immersive spoken word theatre piece by Selorm Adonu. Blending poetry, movement, music and raw emotion, the work explores brotherhood, grief, mental health and the silences that often exist within families. Set within a birthday celebration, the story shifts from joy to revelation, inviting audiences into a deeply personal and collective experience.
Selom will be joined by a stellar lineup of spoken-word talent, including globally renowned London-based poet, writer, and speaker Suli Breaks,best known for his explosive, multi-million-view spoken-word films exploring modern education; Dujon Thompson (Big Scoop), a spoken-word artist and poet who turns real-life experiences into punchlines through intricate wordplay and raw storytelling; and Chloe Carterr, the Hackney-raised poet, performer, and storyteller celebrated for transforming everyday moments into cinematic spoken word.
This gala is more than a performance — it’s a platform for emerging voices, a space for reflection, and a call for connection, through culture, conversation, and creativity that champions the next generation of storytellers while building community, confidence, and lasting impact.
Presented by The Hustle & House of Vox.
"This play was a beautiful mix of spoken word, movement, music, and story. And it spoke truth. It's about the masks boys and men are forced to wear. It's about the pressure to "man up," and the cost of silence. But more than that - it's about healing."

“Came to your event on Sunday and I was blown away by the work. It was so inspiring to see young people take things into their own hands and take charge of their own journey without waiting for things to happen for them.”
Louis Cavalier - Brothers Keeper
“Aside from being exceptionally talented poets, actors, and musicians, the VoxLabs facilitators have built a genuine safe space — somewhere we can experiment, grow, and openly express ourselves through poetry.”
