The Words for Warriors Workshop will give participants an opportunity to explore how they can use their passions and life experiences towards creating an impact within their communities and helping others do the same. Participants will explore areas within the community in which there is a need to be fulfilled. Through this workshop, we will examine different forms of allyship and activism while creating a connection between where each person stands in respect to their passions and experiences. We will delve into how to build an artistic platform through the lens of activism, as well as how to empower and uplift the platforms of others.

*Virtual Participation
This workshop is an interactive learning experience. Much like our in person courses, we expect that all participants are engaging and interacting with the instructor and other participants throughout the course's duration. This means interested registrants must have access to a webcam or microphone and have them both on to be eligible to participate. You can expect each course to have introductions, room for questions and discussion.
If group interaction is not necessarily something you are comfortable with we encourage you to access our free archived workshops.
