Short Description
A writing circle for women of color who seek to express themselves in written form.
Description
The Creative & Resilient Voices Writing Circle is part of a larger initiative by Dr. Kenya Nyota Lee, Amherst Writers & Artists (AWA) Affiliative to create community for women of color. Guided by AWA methodology, this writing circle aligns with the belief that "everyone has a strong and unique voice" and "a writer is someone who writes." Essentially, we all have the capacity to be creatives, storytellers and writers and require a safe space to be vulnerable and to explore and and nurture our creativity. The Creative & Resilient Voices Writing Circles provides writing space that allows for connection through shared lived experience.
