My InsideOut Write-A-Thon Fundraiser

The week of August 16-22, I have committed to writing daily to support InsideOut's Write-A-Thon fundraiser. Ya girl is going to try to write a poem daily, mostly focusing on practicing writing epistle poems. By writing for one week and asking for your support, we will help to share the gift of voice for a lifetime with students! Working for iO is one of my greatest joys. I get the autonomy as a teaching artist to decolonize my curriculum and highlight writers of color. I get to teach poetry and empower youth voices. Please consider supporting poets who are teachers, the youth we get the beautiful opportunity to work with, and an org that has been committed to this work for over 25 years. 

For over 25 years, InsideOut Literary Arts has helped Detroit’s youth build their literary and academic skills through creative writing. By working with professional writers, students learn to think broadly, create bravely and share their voices with the wider world. Learn more and become inspired at insideoutdetroit.org

Will you join me in supporting InsideOut Literary Arts by making a donation to my Write-A-Thon fundraiser? I hope to raise $500 and every dollar helps! InsideOut Literary Arts is a 501c3 non-profit organization and all donations are tax deductible.

Thank you!
