ARTIVISM IN ACTION:
EDUCATE, EMPOWER, TRANSFORM

THE POWER OF POETRY
A creative writing workshop for all. Share your stories, validate your voices, honor your/his/her/our stories. Writing is a way to do all of this. Professional community poets guide this workshop by sharing some of their own poems and then create space for participants to write their own.
THE POWER OF POSTERS:
SILKSCREENING AND SELF DETERMINATION
