Workshop: Trauma, Tresses and Truth-Writing Our Hair

Submitted by the Event Organizer

This interactive session is a nurturing, intentional space to write and share your natural hair stories led by Lyzette Wanzer the author of Trauma, Tresses, & Truth: Untangling Our Hair Through Personal Narrative.

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 with desktop 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.
