Where Poetry, Jazz, and Purpose Unite for the Next Generation
DALLAS, TX, UNITED STATES, February 9, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Attention Required Entertainment and The Elevating Minds Fund proudly present A Snazzy Sneakers & PoJazz Affair, an elegant and soul-stirring scholarship fundraising concert starring acclaimed spoken word artist and musical innovator Zemill, taking place Saturday, March 28, 2026, at PRISM Las Colinas.
Blending sophistication with soul, A Snazzy Sneakers & PoJazz Affair is more than a concert—it’s an immersive cultural experience that fuses smooth jazz, neo-soul, R&B, blues, and spoken word into a powerful night of artistry, inspiration, and community impact. Proceeds from the event will benefit scholarships through The Elevating Minds Fund.
The evening will feature Zemill’s signature PoJazz Experience, a genre-defying soundscape that pairs poetic storytelling with live instrumentation, creating an atmosphere that is both intimate and electrifying. Known for commanding the stage with purpose and emotional depth, Zemill continues to redefine what modern spoken word performance can be. Zemill says, “This event is very personal to me. A Snazzy Sneakers & PoJazz Affair represents everything I believe in—using creativity to uplift, educate, and empower. Through PoJazz, I’ve always aimed to speak to the heart while feeding the soul, and this night is about pouring that love back into our community. Every note, every word, every moment is dedicated to creating hope and opportunity for future leaders.”
The concert will also feature musical director Joel McCray and Fulton Turnage, alongside Jaquita Jones, Deon Q, Will Brooks, and Mark Harper, delivering a dynamic, full-band experience.
Guests are invited to arrive early for red carpet photos, interviews, and hors d’oeuvres from 6:00–6:55 PM, with the show beginning promptly at 7:05 PM. Attendees are encouraged to embrace the event’s fashion theme: Classy, chic, and sharp—with your flyest sneakers.
