If you don’t write your story, someone else will. Who is writing yours? In this session, the queenSpeak poetry group will share our experiences as young women of color finding our way in the world of slam poetry. We will discuss the power of poetry as a means of expression, exploring identity, and building critical communities. We will conclude with a performance. Participants will then take writing into their own hands and leave empowered to create their own stories.
