Join us in this creative writing workshop and acquire the skills to produce empowering products such as journals, family trees, memory books, short stories and poetry.

Session One: Tell Your Story in Your Own Words

• Explore crossing borders and rewrite notions of identity, friendship, family & success

Session Two: My Other Selves
• Use photos and personal objects as cues to access memories & lift up your voice
• Interrogate creative ways to express your political, ethnic & sexual self

Join us and Write to Discover answers to these liberating questions.
