Creative writing is a fun way to build one’s literary skills, while also engaging in a powerful form of expression that can create healing, empathy, and when needed, disruption. In this workshop, Hip-Hopera artist Zakiyyah will guide students through a number of creative writing exercises that support them on their journey towards understanding various perspectives and building knowledge through the lens of social change. Students will also learn to communicate effectively and gain an appreciation for the personal and communal impact of the power of language.

Subject matter can be tailored to meet school and classroom interests.
