let’s build a better way
readings
Experience the book as read aloud by the author, followed by a productive question and answer session.
“That was one of the best Q&A sessions I’ve ever witnessed!”
–Sarah Hentges, University of Maine
class visits
Assemble with students to articulate workshop goals and model the anti-racist workshop methodology.
“A student was just telling me about how seeing her story in your words pointed her to the workshop piece she could not previously write. It was transformative just to see that you are one option for how to move in the world. For my students who had access to the book for 24 hours AND READ IT ALL in that time, the candor and access and modeling of vulnerability you brought to our conversation was a further revelation.”
–Kendra Greene, University of Texas-Dallas
phone consults
Talk one-on-one for personalized support evolving your writing workshop.
“A wind of inspiration and brilliance.”
-Sarah Gambito, Fordham University
Curriculum Planning
Get help with conceptual editing of your workshop goals, lesson plans, and marketing materials.
“It was WONDERFUL. One thing that struck me afterward was how it worked in two directions: people who commonly teach writing came to learn about antiracism and people primarily interested in antiracism came and thought more about writing. I know I learned a lot from both the content and the tone. The generosity she talks about in the book felt palpable during the session and is something I want to work on in my own teaching.”
–Mary Raschko, Whitman College
Small group facilitation
Gather in community to upskill teaching assistants and faculty in anti-racist writing workshop pedagogy.
“Your workshop not only provided our MFA/BFA Creative Writing faculty and students with a framework and tools for decolonizing the writing workshop, but also fostered a space where our community could begin having open conversations about anti-racist practices and authentic inclusion within our program.”
–Holly Mason, George Mason University
programmatic change
Meet as a department to envision a 21st century writing program that platforms and supports students of color.
“That workshop! Your brilliance! What an amazing moment you created, allowing [us] to say, oh! I see what I'm doing! The whole group could experience how this model of workshop unfolds a writer's understanding. And you made the exact space for that to happen. In that moment, I could feel my colleagues turn. Turn.”
–Kisha Schlegel, Whitman College
