Writing Workshops
Roots. Wounds. Words. is a Literary Arts Revolution for Us. Through our writing workshops, participating storytellers are empowered to craft authentic stories that reflect and affirm their experiences as BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and/or justice-involved people. They gain a safe space and deep tribe within which they’re able to process trauma, excavate lived experiences, as well as see themselves both on the page and in the faces of the people who surround them.
Our workshops cater to all of Us who are forced to live outside of the margins. Prior writing experience is insignificant—whether you’ve written before or not holds no weight. Roots. Wounds. Words. welcomes all storytellers, from those of Us who’ve never participated in a writing workshop before to those of Us who are widely published. No matter what your writing background is, you will learn new literary craft approaches, tap into stories buried deep within your spirit, and develop a profound connection to the storytelling capabilities that are aflame within your DNA.
Although based in Brooklyn, Roots. Wounds. Words. delivers in-person and virtual programming across the country, from New York to New Orleans and Los Angeles to Long Island. International storytellers have participated in our virtual workshops from their homes in Canada, Abu Dhabi, and China.
