NEXT WORKSHOP:

LET YOUR SOUL WRITE WORKSHOPS WILL RETURN IN 2026

As we continue to face physical, mental, and spiritual oppression- people of African descent need to be able to express our pain as well as articulate our visions of freedom. We must allow our souls to speak. One way the soul expresses itself is through the art of poetry, which I have found to be life giving and life affirming. So, if poetry also resonates with you in this way, I invite you to join me for this workshop and
LET YOUR SOUL WRITE.
