flyover fest
Flyover Fest is an inclusive and fresh arts festival modeled after both SXSW and the literature festivals, Mission Creek and Pygmalion. Now in its third year, Flyover was founded by Justin alongside publishers Two Dollar Radio and Outer Orbit Booking, with the aim of featuring guests who are too loud to ignore, who demand attention through their ideas, art and hustle.
Like most things in 2020, Flyover paused proceedings, which really bummed everyone out BECAUSE LOOKIT THAT LINEUP! Stay tuned for 2021.
In the past, the festival has featured NYT Bestselling author Hanif Adqurraqib and National Book Award finalists Erika L.Sanchez and Elana K. Arnold, alongside musicals acts like Open Mike Eagle, a critically acclaimed rapper and creator of the Comedy Central series "The New Negroes."
Other guests have included: The Found Footage Festival; publishers Coffeehouse Press, PM Press, Kenyon Review, New Directions, Graywolf Press; poets Maggie Smith, Danez Smith, Franny Choi and Kaveh Ackbar; critically acclaimed novelists Scott McClanahan and Sarah Gerard; musical acts milo, Bonny Doon, Broncho, Mothers, Saintseneca and Tin Armor.
sanctuary night
In early 2022, I was unanimously voted onto the board of directors for Sanctuary Night, one of Columbus' top non-profits to watch. Sanctuary Night provides a 24-7 safe space for women to get off the street and get a warm meal, clean place to sleep, medical treatment and more. It's one of the proudest accomplishments of my life.
