HEALING THROUGH WRITING THE UNSAID WORKSHOP

Healing Through Writing the Unsaid

Our voices matter, yet are often silenced by adoption and/or whiteness and sometimes this occurs within our own adoptive families. Through writing & discussion, we’ll reflect on our journeys as adopted people of color and how we navigate our identities. You’ll have the opportunity to share your writing with others in the workshop if you so choose (sharing is optional). No writing experience necessary

This workshop is open to anyone who identifies as an adoptee or foster alum.
