June 15th – July 13th

Creative non-fiction, memoir

Do you have an inspiring story of survival or triumph and want to encourage other women with your testimony?  Did you overcome a health crisis, abuse, rape, an accident, a loss and kept on keeping on?

Join us as we build a sacred and safe space for women of color to perform the ultimate self-care - writing about grief, pain, hope, transformation and resilience.

During this 4-week online course you will be provided with weekly writing prompts, a safe, confidential, non-judgmental space to share the truth about your trauma, and weekly support and writing feedback.

 This course is for any woman who wants to turn her pain into purpose through writing. Novices welcome.

Class Meetings:

All meetings will take place live via Zoom on Monday evenings from 6:00pm-7:30pmEST. There will also be a writers' roundtable  Facebook group for support where writers can check in everyday, hold each other accountable and get extra writing tips and support from the instructor. A link to join the Zoom meeting will be sent to your e-mail once you purchase the course.
