WORKSHOP: Narrative Healing: Writing Our Hair
A Talk by Lyzette Wanzer , MFA (Founder & Director, Trauma, Tresses, & Truth)
About this Talk
This interactive session is a nurturing, intentional space to write and share your natural hair stories. This writing workshop is geared for African American, Afro Latina, and multiracial women who are interested in a safe, nurturing, intentional space to write and share their hair stories. Poems, essays and short stories are all welcome. The workshop will take place in a computer lab on laptop computers. However, feel free to bring your writing materials, be that a literal notebook, journal, sketchbook or laptop. All emotions that surface—anger, sadness, outrage, empowerment or tears—are welcome. Participants should be comfortable sharing drafts with others.
