Welcome to Verse & Vibes | AOD Village. This is a spoken word community rooted in truth, healing, and lived experience. We move with intention here. Before You Post or Chat: Posting and private chat unlock at Level 2. No gatekeeping, t’s about earning the room. Take time to: Read what’s shared React to verses and reflections Engage with prompts Listen before speaking Presence comes before voice. What We Encourage: Honest expression Respectful feedback Writing from lived experience Growth over performance Community over ego You don’t need to be polished. You need to be real. What This Is NOT: A clout space A critique battleground Performative spirituality Drive-by posting If it’s not rooted in respect, it doesn’t belong here. How to earn points: Reacting to posts Commenting thoughtfully Showing up consistently Once you reach Level 2, posting and chat open naturally. Final Word: This is a room, not a stage. Listen first. Speak when ready. If you value real language and collective growth, you’re in the right place. — @AOD Village
