Writing Black at The House
Writing Black at The House has four simple goals: to create; to connect; to share; to empower. This writing group offers Black writers a dedicated space and time to hone their craft and expand their writing community.
First hour (5:30-6:30): Cassidy (the instructor) will be leading a generative writing session using prompts.
Second hour (6:30-7:30): The floor opens up. Folks are encouraged to engage with each other and their work. Make new connections, network, get out there!
Writing Black at The House is for Black writers at every stage of their creative journey to connect in a supportive, encouraging space.
