Course Description

This creative writing course invites you to explore storytelling, poetry, and personal expression from a Black and Diaspora perspective, in collaboration with Scribes with Vibes, an emerging creative writing initiative supporting Black History 365. This course is designed to help you develop your own stories and poems rooted in your lived experiences, everyday life, cultural lineage, and memories. The journey concludes with a celebration showcase event, sharing the creative work produced throughout the course.

Through these sessions, Scribes with Vibes aims to spark ongoing creativity, encourage the sharing of stories, and help build a lasting legacy of writers, inspiring future generations to read, learn, and understand history through cultural and social perspectives
