However, I could not imagine myself as a valued writer or find a place where I fit in. I decided then that I would create one-a space where women of color could comfortably write and be ourselves. In 1999, I opened the doors of my nonprofit, Imani House, and WOC Writers (the first of its kind in NY) was born. WOC Writers provides in-person and virtual workshops, classes, readings, performances,and publications. We offer women a safe and supportive environment locally and globally, which is hosted from our Brooklyn Headquarters and other venues. Please visit WOCWriters.org.vizualizați mai puține
