Description
How does white supremacy culture influence your writing practice? How does your inner editor help you or hinder you? How do oppressive expectations block your ability to be creative?
In this class, we will discuss how our work is negatively affected by oppressive systems like white supremacy, and come up with a self-care plan to address these issues. We’ll also write about belonging and authenticity, and reflect on what our strengths are as writers – and how to come into our literary power.
We are reserving this class for those who identify as BIPOC writers.
We are able to offer a limited amount of both 50% scholarships for our multi-week classes and 100% scholarships for our single-session classes on a first-come, first-serve basis. Students may receive one scholarship per term. Click here to apply for a scholarship spot.
